Two motorcyclists collided head-on with a Mercedes sedan, resulting in one death and one person in critical condition. Police are investigating the Mercedes driver, and CCTV footage is being reviewed.
At 12:30 p.m. on May 2, 2569 (2026), Lieutenant Colonel Alongkorn Kierpresertsai, deputy investigation officer at Muang Chonburi Police Station, received a report of a motor vehicle collision with fatalities and injuries on Thongkung-Nongri Road, at the four-way intersection near Jaena Market, Moo 2, Nongri Subdistrict, Muang District, Chonburi Province. He immediately dispatched rescue teams and hospital staff from Chonburi Hospital and the Dharmmachakrammani Foundation rescue unit.
At the scene, 21-year-old Wasutr was found dead with severe facial trauma, broken arms and legs. Rescue workers performed CPR but were unable to revive him. The passenger on the motorcycle suffered severe injuries and was given first aid before being transported to Chonburi Hospital.
Nearby, a red Honda Wave motorcycle belonging to the deceased was found completely crushed at the front. A short distance away, a blue Mercedes sedan showed severe damage to its right side.
When questioned, Sakdi, a 52-year-old Mercedes driver, stated that he was descending from an overpass and proceeding straight when a motorcycle suddenly appeared that he did not see in time. He was uncertain if another vehicle was blocking his view but the motorcycle struck the side of his car.
Police plan to question the Mercedes driver further and review CCTV footage from nearby cameras to determine the sequence of events and proceed with legal proceedings.
