In a dramatic road collision in East Pattaya, a motorcyclist was left seriously injured after a high-speed impact on a car, leading to a horrific ankle wound and multiple abrasions.

 

The Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan Rescue Centre rushed to the scene near Sukhumvit Soi 83 on the railroad-side road yesterday, November 7, following reports of the crash.

 

When rescue teams arrived, they found the aftermath of the collision: a black Honda Civic with a crumpled front end and a red Honda Scoopy-i motorcycle sprawled nearby. The motorcyclist, 48 year old Lampai lay in agony on the road, her injuries severe.

 

The most shocking was a deep laceration to her left ankle, nearly severing it, along with multiple abrasions across her head and body. Rescue personnel promptly administered first aid before transporting her to a nearby hospital for urgent care.

 

The driver of the Honda Civic, 40 year old Kritima, reported that she was on her way home after refuelling.

 

“I slowed down as I entered the railroad-side road. When suddenly the motorcyclist appeared, speeding towards me and looking down—possibly at a phone or something else.”

 

The collision was swift and brutal.

 

Local police documented the scene and are planning to examine CCTV footage to piece together the details. Both parties are expected to be called in for questioning as part of a thorough investigation, with legal proceedings anticipated, reported Pattaya Mail.

Another day on the roads to be forgotten in Thailand.

So many times I've seen motorcyclists on the phone and with mirrors checking the hairstyle, this is what can happen.

The hair-check will not works if you turn the mirrors inside to better squeeze through traffic. Or take them off completely, as seen frequently.
