Russian driver collides with motorbike, leaving one dead
Local rescue services quickly arrived at the scene, finding the car’s front end heavily damaged. The driver, a 40-year-old Russian national named Romasco, exhibited signs of intoxication. Nearby, a motorbike lay wrecked, with two severely injured Thai nationals, 28-year-old Mukcharee and Boonpop. Medics provided immediate first aid before rushing both victims to a nearby hospital, reported Thai CH 7.
Witnesses at the scene, including 40-year-old Somsak, described seeing the foreign driver speeding erratically before slamming into the motorbike from behind. The collision was so forceful that it sent the motorbike riders flying, causing severe injuries. Somsak quickly contacted local rescue services, who arrived within minutes.
Local police also responded, documenting the accident scene and gathering evidence, including photos and witness statements. They intend to review nearby CCTV footage to piece together a complete account of the events leading up to the crash. An alcohol test is pending to determine the driver’s level of intoxication at the time of the accident.
Tragically, Mukcharee succumbed to her injuries shortly after arriving at the hospital, while Boonpop remains in critical condition. Pattaya authorities are coordinating with the deceased’s family to prepare for her funeral rites.
The investigation is ongoing, and further updates will be provided as more information becomes available, reported Bangkok Post.
