She told Ban Bueng police, “My mother, Mrs. Boonruen Yakam, 62, and I were riding on a motorbike with a sidecar. I am not sure what happened, it took place so fast, one moment I was in the sidecar and the next I was staring up at the sky and could not move.”

A security guard nearby told Ban Bueng police he saw a pickup truck crash into the motorbike sidecar before immediately speeding away.
