A detached truck wheel struck a woman on a motorcycle waiting at a traffic light, leaving her unconscious and seriously injured. On September 22 at 2:00 p.m., Phuket City Police responded to the accident at the Koh Kaew intersection in Phuket City, where a wheel from a ten-wheel trailer separated and struck the parked motorcycle. The female rider sustained severe injuries, and nearby shops and private property were also damaged. The trailer remained at the scene while the driver awaited insurance processing. Police coordinated with mechanics to clear the vehicle and reopen the route, as the accident caused significant traffic congestion. Witnesses reported that the motorcycle was stationary at the red light when the truck wheel suddenly struck it, rendering the woman unconscious until good Samaritans came to her aid and alerted authorities.
