PHUKET: A 20-year-old woman has escaped serious injuries after her motorbike slid on sand at a curve in Kalim, north of Patong, and struck a guardrail, sending her plunging some 15 metres onto rocks beside a small waterfall below.

 

The accident happened on Kalim Soi 7, off Phra Baramee Rd, shortly before 4:30pm Monday afternoon (Aug 17), explained Sompong Panaphote of the Kusoldharm Foundation Phuket rescue team based in Patong.

 

“About 10 of us rescuers arrived at the scene to find the motorbike still there on the road. About 15-20m below the road was the woman on rocks beside the waterway,” he told The Phuket News.

Ouch - the lethal design and quality or roads here is often a major contributing factor to many serious accidents 

 

In this case - sand on the road, probably due to poor drainage runoff across the road rather than down the side of it.

I think you're really reaching here. 

 

Weather has its way with the environment and Thailand is not alone is lacking control over it.
