snoop1130 Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 In a tragic turn of events, two French men died early this morning in Phuket, due to a motorcycle accident. The deadly incident transpired on Anusawari-Ban Pa Khlok Road in Thalang district. Local authorities and rescue groups, including representatives from the Kusol Dham Phuket Foundation and the Thalang Police Station, reported to the crash site. The response followed a 4.40 am alert made by a local driver, on May 24. The accident spot was a curved stretch on the mentioned road. The officers, on reaching the referenced location, located a destructed black Yamaha TMAX motorbike next to the road. The motorcycle appeared to be brand new as it still had its red registration plate. Around 50-60 meters away from the crashed bike, the body of a 41-year-old French citizen, Alexandre Serge Robert, was recovered. Meanwhile, on the opposite street, the officers found another French national, named Michel Sebastien Robert. Michel - 39 years old - severely injured, with his left leg being torn apart due to the incident's stern impact. The police made it known to Matichon that the deceased individuals, Alexandre and Michel, were working near the Thai Thao Kasattri and Thao Si Sunthorn Monument before the crash. Matichon also reported that one of the men's wives had asked them to come home because it was getting late. According to the account, the men, moving in haste with Michel in the driver's seat and Alexandre as the pillion, lost control of the bike due to over-speeding. The motorcycle struck a traffic island, forcing Michel to bash into an electric pole, whereas Alexandre was thrown onto the opposite side of the street. The deceased were moved to Vachira Phuket Hospital for a post-mortem examination, and their families await further proceedings from the French Embassy in Thailand. The investigating officers are now planning to review CCTV footage from the nearby areas to ascertain the crash's exact cause and verify if any other vehicles played a part in the unfortunate event.

jvs Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Not enough info here,the two were working at 4.40 am? did they own the bike or was it a rental? Of course that does not take away from the gravity of yet another lethal motorbike accident there. Yet speeding again! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought this was a witness, or perhaps someone's wife. Apparently the source of the article. Matichon is a major Thai-language national daily newspaper. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the bogans that change the exhaust/muffler that make them loud. The TMax is one very nice maxi scooter. I'd hazard a guess that a lot of newbie riders don't realise it's also quite powerful. Ridden properly (like any bike) it's fine. You mess up... It's going to hurt. Edited May 29 by Korat Kiwi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
