Rescue workers administered preliminary medical care before all victims were transported to a nearby hospital for further treatment.

 

The Honda Wave bore the license plate 3 กพ-1171 Chonburi, while the Yamaha X MAX displayed a red tag. Pattaya Municipal Police have impounded both vehicles.

Was he breathalyzed at the scene?

After administering first aid, checking DUI should be a primary step. 

[Goat]

Sawng Boriboon VOLUNTEERS have been scraping drunken foreigners off Pattaya roads for decades now.

 

Good people the Thais.

Yes,I thought pi66ed would have been a better description than confused

Well, it seems from the text that the Korean was completely at fault... but does anybody seriously think that the German was sober at 3am??? 

[michaellee]

Nothing good come out of it after midnight in Pattaya.

It says "captured on CCTV"... that would pretty much ascertain the faulty party...

It was essential to tell us the model of the bikes

[shackleton]

Don't want to prejudge if alcohol was involved or not but people wanting the bars / clubs ect to stay open until 0400hrs 😱

I find this hysterical as virtually any photo of a vehicle must have the license plate blurred out.

Typical Thai reporting.

Mr. Roger Hamburger is a German citizen Passport number 498377549 and residing at 23/4 Soi 3 Baan Sunuk, Tambon Kaow, Nakhon Sawan and riding a 2018 Kawasaki Intruder VIN number T28377499377238749994XA and with license plate CG3877 and insured by Thai-Best Insurance policy number TB37388830-93993 was accused of swerving in front .........................

Well, you get the idea.  But they crop out the license in any published picture.  Insane.

I do that quite often, always without booze.  Nice and cool with far less traffic than in the early evening. It's certainly easy to spot the drunks; a lot less easy to predict how they will react to sudden impulses for snacks, hos, or more booze. 

 

It's great to see the first responder holding C-spine on one of the victims. A spinal injury doesn't heal like the cuts and scrapes do.

CORRECTED VERSION

[newbee2022]

Around 3am you will have to expect everything....the good and the worse.

Therefore, we have Grab or similar helpful organizations.

Instead, you risked your lives.

[RichardColeman]

German will probably have a heart attack when he gets his bill

Yes, let's keep the bars open until 4am.

[Bepah umayun]

(Off topic) : what do you think of that Mouse Bar, is it any good? 

[balo]

You're gambling with your life every day here. 
 

[Iron Tongue]

All I can add is that the medical first responders and medical care in Thailand is decades ahead of other non-Western countries.  

If this happened in other developing nations, the "rescuers" would have thrown the injured into the back of a pickup truck and given them a bumpy ride to the hospital. If they didn't have permanent cervical/neck injuries before, they would have by the end of the ride.

So you have that to look forward to when drinking & driving in Thailand!

Still probably cheaper than the bill in the USA, with insurance.

My pet hate drink drivers going from bar to bar to lazy to walk or get a baht bus, selfish to the core. These 3 hopfuly make a full recovery and have time to refelct on there actions (if indeed they were under the influence of alchole)

What was their blood alcohol content? I must have missed it.

Bottom line: foreigners and mini bikes do not mix and should be banned

Road checks do exist all over,

 

But they are often on the roads leading to areas with a large farang community, mainly in popular beach towns like Patts, Phuket or Hua Hin.  Mainly to get money out of foreigners and not to conduct serious DUI breath tests on site. Wish all the parties a fast recovery.
