Brush with death

WICHIT: Female motorcycle rider Arisara Srimaung sustained only a cut eyebrow after colliding with a pickup truck on Chao Fa West Rd outbound near the House and Home building supply center, just before 9 o’clock this morning.

Level-headed bystanders administered first aid and ensured that K Arisara remained motionless until a Phuket Ruamjai Foundation ambulance arrived about 10 minutes later to take her to Vachira Phuket Hospital.

K. Arisara required stitches for her head injury, but was otherwise unharmed, an officer at the hospital said.
