A tragic accident in Thailand claimed the lives of a family of three, including a seven-month-old baby, after they rode their motorcycle against traffic and crashed into an oncoming truck.
The fatal collision occurred around 9.30pm on Monday (24 March) on a road exiting Trat, reported Khaosod.
When police arrived at the scene, they found the wreckage of the motorcycle and the lifeless bodies of a 39-year-old father, a 37-year-old mother, and their infant child.
Preliminary investigations suggest that the family was riding against the flow of traffic, staying close to the road divider. Tragically, they collided head-on with a truck travelling in the correct direction, throwing all three off the vehicle.
Police also observed that the motorcycle had been modified to include a sidecar.
