rooster59 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Bangkok: Motorcyclist falls off the Rama 3 bridge - he was gazing at his phone Image: INN News Police and rescue services called to an area below the Rama 3 bridge yesterday found the body of a 43 year old motorcyclist called Kiatpong. He had fallen 10 meters from the bridge. On the bridge was his Zoomer-X and there was evidence of scraping on the bridge wall. He appeared to be a delivery guy as there was a large delivery box on the back of the bike. Witnesses saw him fall from the bridge. He was killed instantly. Motorcycles are not allowed on that bridge. Police later looked at CCTV and saw the rider with one hand on the handlebars and the other holding his phone. INN said he was gazing at his phone. Police are gathering evidence and witnesses to determine if it was an accident just involving the motorcyclist. An autopsy is underway at Chula Hospital.

Saltire Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Am pretty sure we passed that incident just after it happened. My brother in law who was driving pointed out the motorcycle on the bridge, telling us 'not allowed'. No sign of the driver - RIP not a good way to go.

I have ridden my bike over that bridge several times, and seen many others do it. This poor guy was just trying to do his job as 'time efficiently' as possible, and was probably looking at his phone for delivery information, not to check stocks and shares or how many likes his last lunch picture got on social media. RIP fellow biker! I hope his family can manage. 12 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeptic7 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 See this idiotic and irresponsible driving behavior all the time, all over the Kingdom. Very first thing I stressed until was blue in the face to my GF when she started driving...NEVER ever look at that phone while operating a motor vehicle of any kind. Turn it off while driving. NOTHING is so important that can't wait until safely parked. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A brilliant deduction. They are really on the ball. Delivery boys use their cell phones to locate customers by GPS. You won't find many delivery boys that don't use their cell phones while delivering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
