A sedan struck a fallen motorcyclist and dragged the body dozens of meters along the road in a tragic accident. On May 16, authorities reported that late the previous night, Deputy Lt. Somchai Muay Dee of the Tha Sala Police Station received a report of a motorcycle accident where a sedan had run over the rider at the curve in Thung area on the Nakhon-Tha Sala Road, Tha Sala District, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province. After being notified, officers coordinated with the Tha Sala Hospital emergency doctor and rescue personnel to investigate the scene. Upon arrival, they found the body of Kanpattana, known as "Bangnuk Pakphying," a well-respected figure in the Tha Sala cockfighting community and organizer of major cockfighting tournaments in the area. The body bore marks of being dragged dozens of meters along the road, with a blue Honda motorcycle overturned nearby and the sedan parked not far from the accident scene. Investigation determined that Kanpattana was riding the motorcycle at high speed when it lost control and fell into the middle of the road. The sedan traveling behind at high speed could not brake in time, struck the fallen rider, and dragged the body dozens of meters along the road, resulting in his death. Authorities have collected evidence and interviewed the sedan driver for further legal action.
