A young biker returning from a party at 4am today, suspected of being drunk while driving, ignored warnings and crashed his motorcycle into a 5-metre deep concrete pit. The incident occurred beneath a bridge in Pak Kret district, Nonthaburi. The driver, from Suphan Buri province, was found unconscious and reportedly drunk at the bottom of the pit.

 

The pit, approximately 6 metres in diameter and deeper than 5 metres was being worked on by construction workers. The 29 year old Nonthapawich found unconscious with signs of spinal injury and allegedly reeking of alcohol, was lying still at the bottom of the pit alongside his blue Yamaha Nmax motorcycle, bearing the registration number 1กธ 5434 Suphan Buri, submerged in water, reported KhaoSod.

 

Rescue workers spent about an hour using body suits and equipment to recover the allegedly drunk Nonthapawich and rush him to Bang Bua Thong Hospital. Nonthapawich’s relatives informed the rescue team that he had been partying with friends and was likely returning home when the accident occurred.

 

Based on interviews with the construction workers, the accident site was cordoned off with signs and warning lights to prevent vehicles from passing.

because life is wasted on some people.

Hopefully later to be charged with drunk driving and wasting emergency workers time. It is about time that all drunk drivers get billed for ALL costs of the emergency teams and policeman for incidents like his. Same applies to big fatties and obesity !

Was this not 'news' Weeks ago? ( not the pickup) or was it the same guy that repeated his actions.

If the victim couldn't pass that's why he drove into the pit.
