The woman, 29-year-old Pagamat Senabut, was riding along Pang Muang Sai Kor Rd, near Patong hospital, at about 5pm on Christmas Day (December 25). The road is currently being rebuilt and is in a bad state.
A police officer explained that Ms Pagamat was driving home when she lost control of her Yamaha bike on the lumpy surface, and fell over. The truck, following close behind at speed, ran over her head, killing her instantly.
Pol Col Chirapha tPochanaphan told The Phuket News, “Kathu Police officers have already arrested and charged him.”
