“Mr Tepper was not wearing a helmet and struck his head on the sign – he died instantly,” said Capt Thada Sodarak of the Chalong Police.
“I believe he was moving very fast at the time of the crash, as part of the sign pole was buried a meter underground, and it was pulled out by the impact.”
Mr Tepper’s body was taken to Vachira Phuket Hospital.
