Todsapol Tumthong, the 23-year-old driver of the Isuzu 10-wheeler, said he had been parked on the side of the highway while he shopped at a convenience store. He then pulled back out into traffic, accelerating slowly.
As he did, he heard a crash at the back of the truck and saw Atiwat and his Honda Zoomer on the ground. The big truck suffered only a broken taillight.
