Pattaya —

A 28-year-old motorcyclist tragically lost his life in a high-speed collision with a sedan in Pattaya early Sunday morning.

At 2:36 AM on October 13th, the Sawang Boriboon Rescue Center received a report of a fatal collision between a motorcycle and a sedan on a road in Soi Nern Plub Wan, near the entrance of Soi Mab Yai Lia 49/1.

There, a black Honda City sedan was found parked by the roadside with severe damage to the left door. The car was driven by 26-year-old Mr. Athirat, last name withheld.

Nearby, a black Honda PCX motorcycle was found overturned and extensively damaged. In the middle of the road lay the body of Mr. Jirayu Thongkhlib, 28, who had tragically died from a severe neck wound.
