Woman Dies After Motorcycle Plunges Into Roadside Pond
A 32-year-old woman died after her motorcycle skidded off a curve and plunged into a roadside pond in Nonthaburi early July 16; police suspect excessive speed caused the solo crash.
At 2:15 a.m. on July 16, 2569, Bang Yai Police Station in Nonthaburi, along with volunteers from the Ruang Katanyu Foundation, responded to a report of a motorcycle accident on Banggrov-Sai Noi Road near Soi Bang Lane 7 in Bang Yai District. The body of a 32-year-old woman identified as Ms. Nuch was found submerged in a roadside pond with her motorcycle, which bore a registration ending in 2800. Officers documented skid marks approximately 20 meters long leading from the curve to the pond, and found her shoes and glasses nearby.
A witness named Mr. Tewanya, 32, reported that while driving from the old Bang Yai power station intersection toward Rattanakosin Road, he observed a motorcycle traveling in the opposite direction just before the curve. Hearing a loud noise, he turned around and discovered the motorcycle in the pond but found no one at the scene. He immediately called police to report the accident.
When officers arrived, they found the rider's body submerged in the water. Preliminary investigation suggests the victim was traveling at high speed, lost control on the curve, and skidded off the road into the pond. Police will review closed-circuit camera footage from nearby areas to determine whether the incident was a solo crash or involved a collision with another vehicle. The body was transferred to the Institute of Forensic Medicine for autopsy.
