"My friends and I, a group of 6 people, were returning home after playing Songkran water festival. When we reached the scene, which was a completely dark road with no lighting, I saw the motorcycle swerving erratically at close range. The driver couldn't brake in time and the collision was severe, causing the car to flip multiple times."
