Motorcycle rider dead but his friend has remarkable escape
A collision between a motorcycle and a 6 wheel truck at an intersection in Pak Thongchai, Korat, killed the driver of the bike but the pillion passenger walked away only slightly hurt.
The accident – caught on CCTV – happened on the Pak Thongchai to Lam Phraplerng dam road.
The driver of the truck did not flee the scene and waited for police who charged him with negligent driving causing death.
Many posters on YouTube put the blame for the accident firmly on the shoulders of Nikhom Phoonkasem, 51, who died at the scene.
Many said pillion passenger net, 52, must have made some serious merit.
The video continued with an accident involving a car driven by a soldier in Aranyaprathet last night who collided with a barrier and a power pole.
He lost his hand in the collision that was pictured lying by the side of the road.
It was collected up and put in a plastic bag by someone as rescue medics with cutting equipment tried to free the driver.
