A 37-year-old Bangkok man was killed when he was thrown from his pickup truck after slamming on the brakes on Sukhumvit Road.
Chanin Kawinwanich was thrown from his Toyota Vigo in front of U-Crane Partnership Ltd. around 5:30 p.m. Nov. 19. He was pronounced dead at the scene with skull and neck fractures.
Chanin Kawinwanich was killed instantly when he lost control of his pickup and hit a power pole.
A witness said Chanin was driving at high speed toward Sattahip when a baht bus picking up passengers pulled out into traffic without looking, forcing the Bangkok man to quickly apply his brakes to avoid a collision. Chanin lost control and the truck smashed into a power pole, ejecting the driver who was not wearing a seatbelt.
