Student Motorcyclist Dies After Crashing Into Disabled Truck

A 21-year-old student from Rajamangala University of Technology Lanna in Lampang was riding a motorcycle across provinces with two friends returning home to Jun District, Phayao, when he collided with the rear of a trailer truck that had pulled over with a blown tire. He sustained critical injuries and died at Ngao Hospital.

On August 14, 2025, the Ngao Rescue Association in Lampang received notification from the 1669 emergency center about a motorcycle-trailer collision with an injured person in the Suan Sak area (opposite the white dirt pit) in Ban Huad subdistrict, Ngao District, Lampang Province.

Rescue workers found a motorcycle overturned at the rear of the trailer with a teenage male trapped beneath it. Emergency responders provided immediate assistance and first aid before coordinating with Ngao Hospital's rescue vehicle to transport the victim for treatment. Medical examination revealed a deformed right leg from the thigh through the hip, head trauma, and multiple broken teeth. The victim was identified as Rachantor, age 21, a student at Rajamangala University of Technology Lanna in Lampang.

According to witness accounts, the trailer had suffered a blown tire and pulled to the roadside. The vehicle was beginning to move back out onto the roadway when Rachantor was riding his motorcycle with three companions heading home. The first motorcycle spotted the trailer and managed to swerve around it safely, but Rachantor's motorcycle, traveling behind, could not avoid collision and struck the rear of the trailer at high speed, causing severe injuries.

After the accident, police from Ngao Station investigated and notified relatives to come to the hospital to monitor the victim's condition. However, Rachantor was later pronounced dead at the hospital, leaving his family and fellow students in deep sorrow.
