On Thursday (1 Sep) evening, a 45-year-old food delivery rider passed away after colliding with a lorry in Buangkok. The lorry driver was later arrested for drink driving.
New footage of the accident has since emerged, revealing that the food delivery rider was trying to overtake the lorry driver at the time.
The video shows the rider signalling his intention to change lanes from the leftmost lane at about 7.50pm.
He then travels across two lanes, reaching the rightmost lane, alongside the lorry.
After travelling beside the lorry for a short while, the rider seems to speed up in an attempt to get in front of the vehicle.
At this time, the rider’s signal is still on, and he manages to get ahead of the lorry.
