Motorcyclist killed, two badly injured after pickup ploughs into suspected racers
One motorcyclist was killed and two others severely injured when a pickup truck crashed into a group of 20 suspected road racers in Ayutthaya province early Tuesday.
Police said the accident happened on Nakhon Sawan-bound Asia Road in Moo 4 village in tambon Klong Jik in Ayutthaya’s Bang Pa-in district at about 2.30am.
Police took the truck driver, who has yet to be identified, to Bang Pa-in Police Station for questioning and out of fear that the motorcyclists would attack him. The man refused to say anything at the scene.
Sornram Phakhitham, 20, died at the scene while Anupong Noipithak, 18, and Supattharas Thonglor, 17, were injured and taken to Karunvej Hospital.
Police said the pickup was apparently speeding out a petrol station to make a U-turn on the furthest right lane and the motorcyclists came down the elevated Bang Pa-in Road and cut into the front of him.
