A suspected drug user died after crashing his motorbike trying to escape police in Sattahip.
Chalermchai Threetip, 27, died of a broken neck after hitting a tree in the Sept. 29 crash at the 164-kilometer marker on Sukhumvit Road.
Police found 50 grams of marijuana on the body and a wound that appeared to have been caused by a bullet.
Witnesses said they saw Chalermchai speeding from the direction of Pattaya headed to Bang Saray, where he lived. Police at a checkpoint put on sirens and the cyclist sped up. Trying to duck pursuing officers, he lost control and crashed.
