Chonburi –

A big bike rider has been pronounced dead after crashing into a bridge in the Mueang Chonburi district.

Emergency responders were notified of the accident at the ‘Bang Sai New Bridge’ in the Bang Sai sub-district earlier this week.

They arrived at the scene to find an unidentified man aged around 30 lying on the bridge road. He had sustained severe head injuries and had not been wearing a protective helmet. He was rushed to a local hospital where he was later pronounced dead upon arrival. Near his body rescue workers found his damaged 650 cc motorbike.

A witness, who was named only as Mr. Khwan, told TPN media, “I was driving a motorbike behind the victim. He (the victim) was driving his motorbike at high speed. When I arrived at a curve, I saw him lying on the road. He might have lost control of his vehicle.”

Mueang Chonburi police are working to identify the deceased driver.
