He had sustained severe head injuries and was not wearing a protective helmet at the time of the accident. He was rushed to a local hospital for urgent medical assistance, his condition as of press time was unknown.

The pickup truck driver, Mr. Wirat Namtaku, 27, from Udon Thani was waiting for police at the scene.

Wirat told Don Hualor police, “I parked my pickup truck near a noodle restaurant. I was eating noodles when I heard a deafening crashing sound nearby.”

“I ran out from the restaurant and discovered that the driver’s motorbike had crashed into my pickup truck. However, it was unclear exactly what caused the accident.”

Police are checking CCTV to determine if Wirat had properly parked his vehicle as well as the sequence of events that led to the accident. Don Hualor police also stated to the associated Thai press that they are working on identifying the driver of the motorbike.
