Good Samaritan injured aiding crash victims in Pathum Thani

[webfact]

In the early hours of today, February 1, a good Samaritan tragically became a victim himself while assisting at the scene of a crash involving two motorcycles in Pathum Thani Province.

 

A 38 year old man was struck by a speeding car, sustaining severe injuries. The accident, which initially left three people injured from the motorcycle collision, occurred on the outbound Phaholyothin Road in front of Thai Watsadu, Khlong Luang district.

 

The site revealed a chaotic scene with two overturned motorcycles, a Yamaha Mio with a Nakhon Nayok registration and a Yamaha Grand Filano with a Bangkok registration, and a Mazda car with a Bangkok plate caught in the central gutter between the expressway and the parallel frontage road.

 

The Mazda had collided with Kasem, who was signalling traffic to aid emergency services. In total, five individuals were injured, including the three motorcycle riders, Kasem, and the car driver, identified only as 23 year old Kiattikun. Rescue workers had previously transported the victims to the hospital, reported KhaoSod.

The vendor had also been using their phone’s flashlight to signal oncoming vehicles to slow down when suddenly, the Mazda, driven at high speed, lost control and crashed into Kasem, causing critical injuries.

 

Nuff said.

It seems far to many Thai's drive at high speed .....   cops needs to start using speed cameras more and heavy fines ... on every highway.
