Around 8am Nongprue Police and a Unit of The Sawang Boriboon Dhamma Sathan Rescue Foundation to provide assistance were called a busy highway in their district where a body had been found at the side of the road.
On highway 36 in front of the Bira International Racing Circuit they found the body of a man aged somewhere between 45-50. He was laying in the grass in the central reserve of the highway.
The deceased did not carry any formal means of identification and appeared to have been dead for about 10 hours. The man had suffered severe traumatic injuries consistent with being hit by a vehicle travelling at high speed.
The body of the deceased was taken to hospital for a full post mortem to be carried out. The police are appealing for families in the area who may have a missing family member to contact them as soon as possible. Meanwhile auto repair shops across the region are being canvassed to see if any vehicles have turned up to have repairs carried out that may be consistent with a vehicle pedestrian accident.
