A 29-year-old man lost control while riding his motorcycle, causing the bike to crash and the rear-view mirror rod to pierce his chest, killing him on the Tha Chin River bridge in Samut Sakhon. Police were alerted at 09:30 on 8 October 2025, and officers from Samut Sakhon City Police, including Deputy Inspector Nattha Phukan, Deputy Police Colonel Sukhum Phoethaisong, investigative units, hospital staff, forensic officers, and a local rescue foundation responded. At the scene, they found the man, identified as a Myanmar national, lying face-up on the right side of the road with a pool of blood around him. His Honda Wave motorcycle, registered in Samut Sakhon, lay overturned nearby. The mirror’s glass had been removed, but blood was seen on nearly half of the rod.
