Thalang Police Station was notified about an accident near the Isuzu dealership on Thepkrasattri Rd in Koh Kaew at about 5.50am.

Police officers and Kusoldharm rescue workers arrived at the scene to find an overturned and wrecked motorcycle with a side-car (saleng), a damaged Honda Scoopy scooter, and a damaged Mazda car.

Both motorcyclists sustained injuries. Arsad Tawan, 46 years old, was taken to Thalang Hospital, while Suwit Kaewhwan, 40 years old, was provided help at the scene. The female car driver, 37-year-old Warisa Samathi, was unhurt.

According to the initial investigation, which includes statements from witnesses, the Scoopy rear-ended the saleng, which was then rammed by the Mazda. All three vehicles were moving northbound towards the Heroines Monument.

Police officers have not made any statements about charges against any of the people involved.
