A Saturday night storm turned deadly in Hua Hin when two people were electrocuted after their motorbike struck a sagging power cable during flash floods, leaving locals reeling and officials scrambling to inspect the town’s tangled wiring.

Tragedy struck on Soi 94 in Hua Hin on Saturday, May 10, when two people lost their lives after being electrocuted amid torrential rain and street flooding.

The pair were riding a motorbike near the Dusit Land 10 housing estate at around 8.30pm when they tried to steer around a submerged section of road. In doing so, their bike reportedly made contact with a low-hanging electrical wire, causing it to topple and sending a deadly current through the victims.

Hua Hin Today reported that witnesses say they heard one of the riders cry out that they’d been electrocuted. Members of the public rushed to help and took both victims to Hua Hin Hospital but they were tragically pronounced dead a short time later.

Ah, in the weather section, that's why I didn't see it but I was surprised it hadn't been reported.

Yeah, weather-related incident, I guess, but it deserves more coverage.

RIP
