Police checkpoint blamed for accident as Malaysian “big bike” tourist dies in South

Thai media has suggested that a badly positioned police checkpoint on the Petchkasem Highway in Pattalung was responsible for an accident that killed a Malaysian tourist and seriously injured his wife.
The tourists were on Big Bikes heading for Koh Samui with four friends when they collided with the back of a pick-up at a checkpoint near the Pa Bon police station.
A total of four vehicles collided. The others were a car and pick-up. Manager said the problem was the positioning of cones on the road at a checkpoint for traffic infringements.
The dead man who died at the scene was Mohammad Dreem, 38. His wife Ruree on the back of the bike was rushed to Pa Bon hospital in a serious condition.
