Jeerasak reported that the motorcycle began to swerve uncontrollably, creating sparks as it scraped against the pavement before slamming into the trailer parked in front of his house.
Rescue workers from the Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan Foundation attempted to perform CPR, but the man was pronounced dead at the scene due to the severity of his injuries. Police noted that the impact was forceful enough to burst a tire on the trailer.
Authorities are currently reviewing local surveillance footage to determine the exact cause of the crash. The victim’s body has been transported to Pattaya Patthamakhun Hospital to await identification by relatives and coordination with the Netherlands embassy.
