A red motorcycle and a six-wheel truck had collided.
According to the Thai truck driver, the motorcycle which the Singaporeans were on had lost control at the curve in the opposite lane.
The motorcycle then crashed head-on into his truck.
The 29-year-old Singaporean male rider died at the scene of the accident, while his pillion rider suffered internal bleeding.

The Crash in Taiwan
In this case, a Singaporean man was hit and killed as he was crossing a road in Taiwan.
He was hit by a Porsche.
The crash was so severe that the white Porsche SUV’s bonnet was dented completely out of shape.
While the driver claimed that the Singaporean victim had suddenly “darted” in front of his car, the driver’s breathalyser test showed that his blood alcohol levels exceeded Taiwan’s legal limits.
This was the driver’s third drunk driving incident.
