Hua Hin: Foreigner crushed to death in bike accident 

 

Image: Sanook

 

Police were called to the area of Soi 78 on Petchkasem Road on Friday at 2pm after a foreigner came off a motorcycle and was crushed by a truck trailer. 

 

Sanook were extremely graphic in their report of the injuries sustained by Karl-Heinz Adami, 69.

 

His helmet was shattered and his false teeth were pictured on the road. 

 

He had suffered head trauma. 

 

His Honda Click was wedged under the back of a Ford Ranger pick-up.

 

One hundred meters down the road a Hino truck driven by Nattakrit, 46, was stopped. The driver said he had made a steel deliver to a building site by Bangkok Hua Hin Hospital and was going back. 

 

He felt something under his back wheels and stopped. He could not be sure what happened. 

 

Locals saw the victim riding in the left lane. 

 

Police are studying CCTV to determine what happened. 

 

The victim was taken to a hospital in Hua Hin for autopsy. 

 

Cleaners mopped up the road to ensure there would not be further accidents.

That's nasty, but I guess at 69 he'd had a decent run, and at least the end was quick.

POST 1, 

 

Before laughing out loud, the autopsy is mandatory for a violent death.
Perhaps the poor stranger was under tranquilizer, or on an existing one.
The investigation can be decisive for the responsibility.
Tragic death, whatever it soit.Paix him.

Quality contribution.....

As per usual here.

Hope his family don't get to read the above comment about a tragic accident.

 

RIP to the victim.

No disrespect. But it is funny they even need an autopsy unless they are looking for booze, heart attack, or something to pin it on the foreigner. 69 is a fairly good age to pass on. When it is your time, it is your time. Don't be so serious.

That's exactly what they'll be looking for - booze, drugs, medical event etc.

 

Nice to see you think you know more than medical experts though.

Yep. Smartest statement I've heard today!

[Lungstib]

A report with no actual facts apart from the death of the m'bike rider. His bike was under the back of a Ford pick-up and a truck 100 yards away reported "feeling something under the wheels". I cant remember every reading a more confusing and useless report as this. RIP to Karl-Heinz Adami, who may have been completely innocent, or the total opposite, we will probably never know.

69 is not a good time to pass on at all. Wait until you get there and maybe you will review that opinion.

RIP fella, hopefully there wasnt a great deal of suffering

You should have read the story in Thai like I did. If it had been translated word for word Thaivisa would never have heard the end of it.

Why is a 69 year old farang riding a bike at all in Thailand ?

The roads are death traps & bad enough in a car.

You oldees out there sell your bikes. Sad but true

[ChipButty]

I always take my false teeth out when riding the bike you just never know

Slightly off topic,

I'm 63, I wish I'd passed at 50, before my divorce rape, when I thought there was still a God that rewarded the just and virtuous..

[johnnytuc]

Was a with a pal just a few vehicles behind when this happened, didn't see incident but everybody was saying his bike was clipped by the other vehicle and he slid under Lorry. I have been here 12 years and have never seen such a sickening sight, The poor mans head was flattened. Also sickening was the amount of people clicking away on their phones mostly Thais but there were a few Falange at it as well. Can't understand these moronic comments that at 69 he has had a good run. Saw one foreigner throwing up but it didn't seem to bother the Thais  too much.  You see this carnage everyday here but this was just too much, hope his family's and friends are spared the photos

When you are 69, you will not think that 69 is a "good time" to pass on.  I am 77 and certainly do not think that my time is up just yet.

As the saying goes, "there but for the grace of God go I", and I say this because the amount of times that I have been just a few centimetres away from being clipped by speeding trucks, lorries and even motorbikes is unbelievable.

 

Some of these drivers have absolutely no idea of how to judge distance and space and if you want proof, look at the amount of times traffic comes to a standstill when two trucks with metres to spare either side of them, have to slow down and stop or slowly crawl past one another because they can't judge the distances.

 

There is everything wrong and absolutely nothing right with the driving/drivers here in Thailand and having a lazy police force only exacerbates the problem.

 

So sad for this poor guy, RIP.
