Pattaya: Two motorcyclists crash into each other, seriously injured

Two motorcyclists collided with each other on Pattaya Klang Road in the early hours of this morning. The clash at 1.10am, today, January 5, involved a Yamaha Fino under the control of 27 year old Artragoon Aonsongchan and a blue Honda Wave 110, without a license plate, belonging to an unidentified 20 year old Thai man.

Both riders, Artragoon and the unidentified rider suffered severe injuries, amplifying the late-night drama. An eyewitness, 48 year old Prateep Yoyad, claimed that the unidentified rider was hurtling at breakneck speed, callously disregarding a flashing yellow signal. The inevitable collision occurred when he careened into Artragoon’s Yamaha Fino, crossing the intersection.

Promptly responding to the emergency, the Sawang Boriboon rescue unit raced to the scene, delivering vital on-site care before whisking the injured pair off to a nearby hospital, reported Pattaya News.

The unidentified rider, behaving erratically even in the aftermath, added a layer of mystery to the incident.
