A 34-year-old woman driving a Toyota Altis in Chonburi looked at her phone map, drifted into the opposite lane, and crashed head-on into a motorcycle carrying two brothers aged 16 and 9. Both siblings suffered serious injuries and were rushed to Chonburi Hospital. The driver admitted she was unfamiliar with the route and distracted by her phone at the time of the accident.
A woman driving a sedan looked down at her phone map, drifted into the opposite lane, and collided head-on with a motorcycle, seriously injuring two brothers aged 16 and 9. The driver admitted she was unfamiliar with the route and failed to see the oncoming motorcycle in time.
At 8:00 PM on November 14, 2026, Mueang Chonburi police received a report of a sedan colliding head-on with a motorcycle, leaving two people seriously injured at the Chalachai Bridge intersection in Ban Suan subdistrict, Mueang district, Chonburi province. Rescue workers from the Thamrarasmi Manirat Foundation rushed to provide urgent assistance.
At the scene, rescuers found two injured males identified as Mr. A (pseudonym), 16, the motorcycle driver, and Boy B (pseudonym), 9, his younger brother riding pillion. Both sustained serious injuries. Rescuers administered first aid before rushing them to Chonburi Hospital for emergency treatment.
A green Honda Zoomer-X motorcycle with license plate 5 Kor Chor 9661 Chonburi lay in the middle of the road with heavy front-end damage. Nearby, a white Toyota Altis with license plate Chor Thor 1328 Chonburi had its front right side severely crushed from the impact.
Dashcam footage showed the sedan descending the overpass when it suddenly veered from its lane into the opposite lane before slamming into the motorcycle carrying the two brothers, who were riding properly in their lane. The collision caused serious injuries to both rider and passenger.
Ms. Chidchanok, 34, the sedan driver, still in shock, revealed she was driving to pick up a passenger on the other side using the bridge route. During the drive, she looked down at her phone for directions because she rarely drove through the area and was unfamiliar with the route. The car drifted out of its lane into the opposite lane without her realizing it before crashing into the oncoming motorcycle. She admitted she was focused on the phone map and failed to notice the motorcycle ahead, causing the severe accident.
Police initially inspected the scene and reviewed dashcam footage as evidence, while preparing to question the sedan driver and involved parties further to determine the exact cause and proceed with legal action.
