snoop1130 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Russian killed in Jomtien motorbike accident By The Nation A Russian biker died after his head supposedly hit a tree in a motorcycle accident today (January 28) on Jomtien Sai 2 Road in Bang Lamung district, Chon Buri province. Pattaya City Police Station sub-inspector Pol Lt-Colonel Saichai Khamjulla said that after he was informed about the motorcycle accident, he and a Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan Foundation rescue team went to inspect the scene immediately. “At the scene, we found the body of Striyak Rinat Yuryevich, 35. A black Suzuki Skydrive motorcycle lay on the road about 50 metres from his body. We covered the body with white cloth,” he said. “During an investigation, we found skid marks on the road, while on the traffic island we found part of a nearby betel tree trunk, which had bloodstains.” Saichai added that police are checking CCTV cameras to find the exact cause of death because no one witnessed the accident. He instructed the rescue team to keep the body at Bang Lamung Hospital for relatives to perform a religious ceremony.

Scot123 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Why do they say biker when riding a scooter? Checking cctv one thinks maybe the poor guy was clipped by another vehicle. Not to easy to crash a bike on a straight road. Poor guy, what a holiday for him and now his family. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratcatcher Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Had he been wearing a helmet, there might not have been a fatality. Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travello01 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I had to personally clean a dead puppy off of the road in that area because bikers like to rip around there. I suspect that's what happened here. He probably swerved to avoid a stray soi dog. There are many limping in the area. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it's a bicycle with an engine attached, just like all two wheel cycles with an engine; even Harleys. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought these cameras only worked selectively and only in cases benefitting the Kwaistone cops. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, it's the first bit of "open" road they've seen for a while, so they wind the throttle open. After a few hours in Pattaya traffic, it's understandable, wrong and dangerous, but understandable. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That road has some nasty potholes and undulations ( MX whoops) they did resurface recently but I don't know if they got all the problems ..could have been a stray dog or drunk pedestrian run out in front of the driver even another vehicle hit and run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gargamon Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I sure have noticed a large number of foreigners driving scooters badly the last few weeks. Driving too slow so they may be struck from behind. Changing lanes without checking for overtaking vehicles. There may be no one driving beside them so they think it's safe to change when it isn't. Etc... The bottom line is if you don't know how to ride defensively this isn't the place to learn. A mistake can be deadly or very painful and expensive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't, but, he hit the betel tree with his head and there were bloodstains on the tree.. It is not beyond possibility that the blood came from his head.
