“We believe that he lost control on the bend in the road and swerved into the pole. He sustained fatal head injuries in the crash,” Col Navin said.
Mr Grau’s body was taken to Patong Hospital.
“We are waiting for the results of a blood test to determine whether or not alcohol played a role in the accident,” Col Navin said.
