According to a report by Khaosod Online, a motorcycle traveling in the wrong direction within a designated bike lane collided with a 15-year-old student who was crossing the street to get to school.
The collision resulted in injuries to both the 44-year-old motorcyclist, who sustained a forehead laceration and facial swelling, and the student, who suffered a right leg injury and abrasions on his back.
