One wonders how much warning the motorcyclist had that there were people working on the road.

^ Probably just pulled the accident onto the road in front of oncoming traffic and wonder why they caused another one.

Obviously never did a proper defensive driving course, which in Thailand means assume that any idiot/elephant/pickup will jump/lumber/drive out in front of you at short notice. Especially at night.
