The first weekend of April 2026 proved to be a harrowing time for the GMMTV fandom. In two unrelated incidents, rising star and racer Barcode Tinnasit Isarapongporn and veteran actor Ohm Pawat Chittsawangdee both faced frightening accidents. Fortunately, both artists have since communicated with fans, confirming they are on the road to recovery.
Barcode Tinnasit: Racing Car Flips in High-Speed Wreck
On April 5, the racing community and BL fans were shocked when photos surfaced of Barcode Tinnasit’s racing car (Car #99) heavily damaged and rolled over. Barcode, who officially joined Lenso Motorsport in 2025, was competing in a professional heat when the vehicle reportedly flipped.
Despite the visual severity of the wreck, Barcode proved his resilience. He quickly took to social media to ease the growing panic among his followers. “Don’t worry everyone, it hurts just a little. Far from the heart,” he posted, even adding a lighthearted “sweet dreams” message to reassure fans that he was stable.

Since his impressive 3rd-place debut at the Toyota Yaris One Make Race D2 in Phuket, Barcode has become a respected figure in the Thai racing circuit. While the cause of this specific crash is still under investigation, his ability to walk away with only minor injuries is being hailed as a relief by his global fanbase.
Ohm Pawat: Late-Night Motorcycle Incident in Bangkok
Just a day prior, on April 4, Ohm Pawat was involved in a motorcycle accident in Bangkok. According to an official statement from GMMTV, the incident occurred past midnight. Ohm was immediately transported to a local hospital for a thorough evaluation.
While news of any motorcycle accident involving a high-profile actor causes immediate concern, GMMTV was quick to clarify that Ohm sustained only minor injuries. He was kept under observation for 24 hours to ensure there were no hidden complications.

By April 5, the news turned positive. Updates confirmed that Ohm has been officially discharged from the hospital and is doing much better. Fans have flooded social media with the hashtag #GetWellSoonOhm, celebrating the “King of Chemistry’s” safe return home.
A Weekend of Relief for Fans
Seeing two major GMMTV talents involved in accidents within 48 hours is a rare and stressful occurrence for the community. However, the quick transparency from both the artists and the agency helped prevent widespread misinformation.
Current Status Summary:
- Barcode Tinnasit: Recovering from minor racing injuries; in good spirits.
- Ohm Pawat: Discharged from the hospital; recovering at home.
As both actors take some time to rest, the industry is reminded of the physical risks these stars take—whether on the professional race track or the busy streets of Bangkok.
