Two teens killed in motorcycle crash on ‘100-Body Way’
Two teenagers returning from a birthday party were killed when their motorcycle crashed head-on with a pickup truck on a Nakhon Phanom road notoriously known as “100-Body Way”.
Police said the accident happened at 3.20am on the That Phanom-Mukdahan road in Ban Tong village in Tambon Fungdaeng in That Phanom district.
The two dead were identified as Noppasorn Kulsing, 17 and Thaweeporn Majanit, 16.
Pickup driver Samranchai Khamoonkhun, 30, waited for police at the scene.
Samranchai told police he was driving to a local market to sell vegetables. He said construction materials were piled on both sides of a section of the road under construction.
Samranchai said he saw the motorcycle speeding up as it came from the opposite direction so he tried to slow down to avoid it but the bike crashed head-on into his pickup.
Friends of the two teenagers told police that the two were returning home from a birthday party.
Local residents said the section of the road experiences frequent accidents, and has become locally know as 100-Body Way.
