PHUKET: Police and rescue workers are scouring the waters between Phuket and the mainland at the northern end of the island after a young man was seen parking his motorbike halfway across the Thao Thepkrasattri Bridge onto Phuket and jumping over the side to the water below.

 

Officers at the Khlok Kloi Police Station were notified of the incident by a motorist at 7:40am.

 

Police arrived to find a black-red BMW motorbike parked just metres short of the exact halfway mark on the bridge, where the division is made between Phuket and Phang Nga province.
