Bangkok: Student on new motorcycle hits bridge and falls to death on car below

A 22 year old university student on a brand new bike without plates hit the side of the Rama 4 bridge over the five way Pak Kret intersection and plunged to his death below.

Pak Kret police at the scene in the Tuesday rush-hour found the lifeless body of Benjaphon Meehiran on the back of a Toyota Altis. 

The body had a helmet in place and there was blood coming from the nose. 

Up on the bridge a red Honda PCX was found on its side. There was damage to the edge of the bridge. 

Altis driver Somphop Phokaew, 57, said he was going to pick up his wife and child from a school in Petchkasem when he heard a loud noise and thought someone had gone into him. 

He got out of the car to find that a large crowd had gathered to look at the remains of the young student that had smashed his trunk and the rear window of the vehicle. 

A friend of the victim that arrived at the scene said that he had just bought the motorcycle and was going home from university when the accident occurred. 

The accident happened outside Major Pak Kret in the Nonthaburi area north of Bangkok.
