A 51-year-old Norwegian suspected of drunk driving
killed himself and a 16-year-old Thai female passenger in an
after-midnight motorbike crash on Highway 7.
The mangled body of Hans Kristian Lundsvoll was found
about 100 meters below the highway overpass where his smashed Honda PCX
and the underage girl - who turned 16 in July - were found. Dressed only
in a pink dress, the Srakaew girl died of a broken neck in the 3:30 a.m.
wreck.
Witnesses reported Lundsvoll was speeding on the
high-powered bike and driving erratically before the crash, which they
said involved no other vehicle. The Norwegian apparently lost control,
smashed into the side of the overpass and vaulted over the guardrail.
Police suspect the Norwegian was drunk at the time
and have sent the body to the Forensics Institute for a final
determination.
Police have notified the young girl’s parents.
