Fatal Motorcycle Accident in Chonburi Claims Two Lives
A mother and her teenage daughter were killed in a collision involving a trailer truck in Phan Thong district, Chonburi province.
On September 11, 2026, a tragic road accident occurred on the Phan Thong-Ban Kao Road in Chonburi, resulting in the deaths of a 45-year-old woman and her 16-year-old daughter. According to Khaosod Online, the victims were traveling on a motorcycle after the mother had picked up her daughter from a local vocational college when they were struck by a trailer truck.
Emergency responders from the Chaturatham Pratheep Foundation arrived at the scene to find the victims deceased, having sustained fatal head injuries. The 26-year-old truck driver involved in the incident claimed that the motorcycle lost control and slid into the rear wheels of his vehicle.
For residents and travelers in the area, this incident highlights the persistent risks associated with sharing roads with heavy freight vehicles on provincial routes. Motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable in these environments, especially during peak school and work commute hours.
As of now, the investigation by the Phan Thong Police Station is ongoing. Authorities are working to determine the exact sequence of events and whether any traffic violations contributed to the collision. The driver’s account remains subject to further verification through forensic evidence and potential witness statements or CCTV footage from the vicinity.
