Rider's Sister in Tears: Brother Killed by BMW Just Weeks After Buying Motorcycle, Before First Payment Due

A delivery rider's sister tearfully shared that her brother was the family's primary source of income, supporting their parents and raising his own young son. He worked from dawn to dusk as a rider and had just purchased the motorcycle involved in the accident less than a month prior, having not yet made his first installment payment. On April 30, 2025, the 27-year-old rider, known as Alongkorn (surname withheld), was fatally struck by a BMW at Bang Khen-Nong Suea Road in front of a condominium in Khlong Luang District, Pathum Thani Province.

As of May 1, 2025, his 30-year-old sister, Ms. Kitima, revealed through tears that her brother was the backbone of the family, sending money to their parents and caring for his own child. He typically worked all day, and the motorcycle he was riding had been purchased less than a month earlier, with the first payment not yet due. Previously, in 2020, her brother had suffered a serious accident that left his leg injured, requiring lengthy medical treatment. Once recovered, he returned to delivery work to continue supporting the family until this tragic incident occurred.

Reporters visited the area where delivery riders gather for work and met with Pairoj, nicknamed Bank, age 27, a close friend of the deceased. He and other friends had brought cigarettes, coffee, and beverages the victim regularly consumed each morning as a memorial. Pairoj revealed that he and the victim often waited for jobs in this area. The victim was hardworking, arriving early each morning and abstaining from alcohol. The tragic accident has deeply affected the group of friends, and they are calling on the responsible party to take full accountability and provide compensation to the victim's family, as they are all simply trying to make a living.
