Foreign motorcyclist’s ill-judged turn in Pattaya leaves 3 injured
A serious accident unfolded on Pattaya Third Road just after midnight yesterday, December 27, resulting in critical injuries for a foreign motorcyclist and minor injuries for two Thai women.
The Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan Rescue Centre was alerted to the collision at 12.16am and dispatched volunteers to the location near Soi Chaloem Phrakiat 4/1.
Upon arrival, rescue teams found the foreign man, who was riding a red Honda Click motorcycle, severely injured and lying on the road. The man, whose identity remains unknown, was found in a critical condition. Rescue workers administered CPR before transporting him to a local hospital for urgent care.
The other vehicle involved in the collision was a black Honda Scoopy, occupied by two Thai women who sustained minor injuries. The driver, 22 year old Kannika, along with her passenger, 22 year old Samita, explained that they were driving straight when the foreign rider allegedly made an unexpected turn towards an entertainment venue. This sudden manoeuvre left the Thai women unable to brake in time, leading to the crash.
Eyewitnesses corroborated the account given by Kannika and Samita, indicating that the foreign rider’s abrupt turn was the cause of the collision. Authorities are currently examining CCTV footage from the area to verify these claims and establish the precise sequence of events as described by those present at the scene, reported The Pattaya News.
Pattaya police continue their investigation as they strive to determine the responsibility for this unfortunate incident.
