Spin out on slippery road injures teen passenger
PHUKET: A teenage woman was injured in an accident on Thepkrasattri Road at about 8:15pm last night, when a pick-up truck spun out of control on the slippery road, hitting two motorbikes parked on the side.
Krittiya Kengreng, 19, a passenger in the pick-up truck, suffered injuries to her right leg and forehead. Rescue workers rushed her to Vachira Phuket Hospital, confirmed Lt Sunan Pechnoo of Phuket City Police.
“We found a badly damaged Toyota pick-up truck and two motorbikes on the ground at the scene,” Lt Sunan said.
“The driver Pipatpong Ammarat, 25, who was not injured in the incident, said he braked suddenly as the vehicle in front of him did the same. It was raining so his vehicle spun out of control and hit the two motorbikes parked at the side of the road.”
Mr Pipatpong was charged for reckless driving and causing damage to property.
“We will contact the owner(s) of the motorbikes to negotiate compensation with Mr Pipatpong,” Lt Sunan said.
