Not the first fatal severing incident during motorcycle accident
Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time such a grisly accident has occurred in Thailand.
In Apr 2025, a Russian man lost his life after driving his motorcycle into an electric pole. He had reportedly been speeding before he lost control of his bike.
The impact caused his body to split in half, spilling his innards across the road. His upper body was around 60 metres away from his lower body.
