snoop1130 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 A Thai woman lost her legs after she sat on a railway track in Pattaya in the early hours of this morning. Police revealed they will question the victim when she recovers. A rescue team and officers from Mueang Pattaya Police Station were called to the incident scene at the Mueang Pattaya Railway Station at 1am today. Upon arriving at the scene, officers found the 42 year old victim, Klongthong Phongwiset, in a pool of blood, and unconsciousness. Klongthong’s severed legs were also discovered on the track. The rescue team provided first aid and rushed her to Bangkok Hospital Pattaya. The train driver, 44 year old Jadetaphan Pakaphorueng, reported to the police that the train was carrying 25 bogies of salt from the eastern province of Rayong. When arriving at the scene, he felt the train had run over something. He decided to stop the train to check and discovered the victim. The police officers reported they would question the victim about the incident after she recovers. They are perplexed as to why she sat on the track in the middle of the night. It is too early to predict whether she had taken alcohol or drugs.

He was smart enough to know that saying "I saw her and tried to stop..." would cause a lot more explaining than "I felt something". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Confuscious Posted July 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 28, 2023 How can a train drive over a human leg. Trains should be equipped with safety devices (comb plates) all around to push everything on the tracks aside. Just like the travelators. Hope she will sue the thai railways. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just that they shouldn't be entitled to any compensation for their stupidity and/or self-destruction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermike007 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 There is no doubt this woman was disturbed. Not alot of options here, for people with mental health issues. Thailand has deeply betrayed it's people when it comes to this area of health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
