Two Children Riding a Motorcycle Killed as SUV Crosses Lane – Toddler Was on Driver’s Lap Steering
Buriram, Mar 22 – An accident killed of two siblings, aged 13 and 9, after a Toyota Fortuner SUV veered into the opposite lane and collided with their motorcycle in Satuek district.
The crash occurred around 6:00 PM near Ban Yang Ngam, Thung Wang subdistrict. The SUV, driven by 43-year-old Ms. Pirun, ended up in a roadside dry pond with its front severely damaged. A wrecked Honda motorcycle was found about 20 meters away.
The victims, 13-year-old girl Nathumon (“Money”) and 9-year-old boy Punyapat (“Namo”), died at the scene. The SUV had three passengers: the driver, her 12-year-old son, and her 2-year-old son. None were injured.
The children’s grandmother, 62-year-old Mrs. Thongchan, tearfully hugged their lifeless bodies. She said the kids had asked for money to buy noodles and had just left on the motorcycle when the SUV crossed the lane and hit them. The older child was briefly conscious before passing away; the younger was later found under the SUV.
According to Mrs. Thongchan, the driver admitted she had her 2-year-old son sitting on her lap playing with the steering wheel. She briefly turned to look at her older son, during which the toddler jerked the wheel, causing the SUV to veer into oncoming traffic and crash into the motorcycle.
