Drunken chaos: Foreigner flees after Pattaya motorcycle wreck

The crash occurred yesterday, January 14 in Soi Thung Klom-Tan Man 9, leaving behind a trail of carnage and unanswered questions.
Police arriving at the scene found a Yamaha Grand Filano motorcycle with heavy rear-end damage and a severely injured woman, believed to be around 40 years old, lying on the road. Paramedics rushed her to a nearby hospital, where her condition remains critical.
Nearby, officers discovered a second motorcycle, a Honda Forza, abandoned and showing signs of crash damage. Registered under a foreign national’s name, the bike is believed to have been rented.
