A sad accident unfolded as a dialysis center staff member rode her motorcycle out to shop during a break, slipped on road gravel, fell while overtaking a six-wheel truck, and was crushed to death. Her pillion companion sustained only minor scrapes and was left shocked and crying. At 3:00 p.m. on October 8, 2026, police from Mueang Chachoengsao Station received a report of a motorcycle colliding with a six-wheel truck at the Prachasarn junction on Sirisoth Road, Mueang Chachoengsao. Officers coordinated with doctors and rushed to the scene with rescue volunteers. They found the female victim with a cracked skull; her broken helmet lay next to her Yamaha motorcycle bearing a Chachoengsao registration plate, while a parked six-wheel box truck stood a short distance away. The victim’s friends, who work together at a private dialysis center, said they had been on a break riding to buy goods when the rider moved left to pass the truck, slipped on accumulated gravel on the road, lost control, fell, and slid under the truck, where a wheel struck her head, killing her. The friend suffered only abrasions. Truck driver Mr. Chan said he was driving steadily until hitting a red light; upon green light, a motorcycle came from his left, and he did not notice anything until his wife saw the fallen bike in the side mirror and told him to stop. Only then did he realize the truck’s wheel had run over the motorcyclist. Initially, officers sent the body to hospital, took the driver for interrogation, and will examine surveillance footage to establish the true cause and proceed according to law.

EC Official Seeks Supreme Court Review for Direct Graft Cases

Former Election Commission member Somchai Srisuthiyakorn and a group of reserve senators petitioned Thailand’s Supreme Court to overturn a previous Appeals Court ruling that blocks citizens from filing direct corruption complaints against the Election Commission. They argue the ruling forces complainants to go through the National Anti‑Corruption Commission and the Attorney General’s Office, a process that can exceed three years, and cite irregularities in the 2024 senatorial election as further justification. The senators urged the Supreme Court to review the decision and to investigate the former Appeals Court president for possible misconduct.
