A 60-year-old woman died from injuries sustained in a collision between a tour bus and a motorcycle at Lam Sai junction in Phuket's Thalang district on August 14, 2025. Thalang Police received a report of the accident on the Pa Khlok-Muang Mai Road and coordinated with rescue officials to respond.
At the scene, officers found a red-and-grey Honda motorcycle registered in Phuket, ridden by Sai Jai, 60, who was seriously injured. Rescue personnel immediately transported her to Thalang Hospital for treatment. A Bangkok-registered tour bus driven by Abhinun, 45, was also involved in the collision.
Investigation revealed that both vehicles were traveling from Pa Khlong Chee Phop toward Route 4027. The bus was ahead when it turned right toward Pa Khlok. At the same moment, the motorcycle attempted to overtake on the right side, causing the two vehicles to collide. Sai Jai sustained critical injuries from the impact.
Police documented the scene, photographed evidence, and conducted a blood alcohol test on bus driver Abhinun, which returned 0 milligrams per cent. A preliminary drug screening also tested negative. The victim later died at Thalang Hospital from her injuries. Officers performed an autopsy and gathered additional evidence as the investigation continues.
