Popular Post snoop1130 Posted October 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 19, 2023 A Phuket motorbike driver who blocked an ambulance that was rushing a patient to hospital has had his comeuppance. The bike rider in question deliberately blocked an ambulance travelling behind him, before getting into an accident where he broke both his legs. Kusoldharm rescue worker Somphong Panaputae was driving the ambulance transporting a seriously ill patient to Patong Hospital. “Earlier this week, I was driving an ambulance with a patient heading to a hospital. There was a motorbike rider in front of my ambulance slowing our travel. The patient was having a medical emergency and we were in a hurry with all sirens and lights blaring.” By Peter Roche Caption: PHOTO: Thai Hitz Full story: Phuket GO 2023-10-19 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

If the patient wasn't in the ambulance, then the bike rider wouldn't have broken legs.

twizzian Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 He not only held up the ambulance but also caused more inconvenience & probably blocked other drivers whilst lying in the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
