At noon on August 4, Deputy Investigator Suranrong Janhoo of Bang Kholumlam Police Station responded to a fatal traffic collision near Suksawat Soi 3 in Rat Burana District. Officers and forensic doctors from Siriraj Hospital found the body of Sondhee Wiriya, 29, a delivery worker for an electrical equipment company, lying on the roadway with severe head injuries. His Honda CB300F motorcycle was damaged, with a cargo rack carrying electrical equipment and cables for customer delivery.
Resuscitation efforts by emergency responders failed, and the worker was pronounced dead. Investigators found a Subaru bus and a Toyota Revo pickup truck at the scene. The bus driver, Supphat, 50, told police that while he was stopped to pick up passengers, the motorcycle suddenly struck the rear of his bus with force. The rider's body then bounced into the right lane and was hit by the pickup truck that was passing at that moment. Supphat also reported seeing a white sedan cutting in front of the motorcycle just before the collision, which may have caused the rider to lose control.
Police have not yet determined the accident's cause and are interviewing both vehicle drivers. They are reviewing CCTV footage from the area and searching for the white sedan suspected of involvement in the incident. The body has been sent for detailed autopsy at Siriraj Hospital's forensic medicine department.
