A cement mixer truck turning into a factory struck a motorcycle, killing a 17-year-old rider and critically injuring his 9-year-old brother. Police from Bang Nam Priao Station in Chachoengsao Province responded to the accident at a cement plant in Sala Daeng Subdistrict at 12:30 p.m. on August 8, 2025. At the scene, officers found the body of a 17-year-old boy near a blue-and-black Honda Wave motorcycle without license plates, which had fallen into a roadside ditch. A Hino cement truck with Chachoengsao registration stood nearby. The injured boy, 9 years old, had severe head lacerations and was rushed to Bang Nam Priao Hospital.
The 51-year-old cement truck driver, Khrao, told police he had been turning his signal light on for some time before entering the plant and did not see the motorcycle following behind him. He was unaware the truck had struck the children until after the accident. When the family arrived at the scene and saw the body, they collapsed in tears.
Authorities are investigating the exact cause of the accident to determine further legal action.
