A rescue unfolded on the morning of November 21, when a foreign man was found unconscious in his car, which had been left idling in gear, requiring response teams to gain entry to reach him.

 

At approximately 10:30 the Sawang Boriboon Pattaya Rescue Unit received a report of an unconscious man trapped inside a vehicle near the Department of Land intersection on Pattaya Third Road, Nong Prue, Bang Lamung District, Chonburi.

 

Upon arrival, a white Mazda car with Bangkok registration was found parked close to the sidewalk with its engine running and the gear in drive. Inside, the driver, a described as a long-haired foreign man aged approximately 30-35, was found unconscious. Initial attempts to wake him by shaking the car and shouting proved unsuccessful, prompting the team to gain entry into the locked car.

 

During this time responders were attempting to gain access, the driver moved and accidentally pressed the accelerator, causing the car to mount the sidewalk and crash into a utility pole. 

 

The rescue team used their equipment to finally access the car. The man was extracted safely but as he regained some consciousness, he appeared disoriented and unable to respond to inquiries. He was promptly transported to a hospital for further evaluation and treatment.

 

Authorities are continuing their investigation into the incident and to identify the driver.

Hard core drunks need to buy electric cars to increase chance of survival by a small percentage...

To you, yes, no surprise there, but why "drunk" and why a "nut case"?

Drunk, stoned, medical, or just tired... take your pick

Why does everyone always want to speculate on what happened?

Why does everyone always want to speculate on what happened?

 

Numerous reasons:

1) Fulling the void of insufficient information.

2) Curiosity and a desire for understanding.

3) To learn what happened and ensure it doesn't happen to them.

4) Sharing perspectives.

5) Lack of Trust in official sources.

6) For the purpose of general discussion - its a forum designed for this purpose.

 

 

It always strikes me as strange, when on a forum designed specifically for interaction and discussion that people post comments such as your questioning why people are speculate and discuss... 

 

Surely a News site is more appropriate if you wish avoid discussions...

because everyone is curious,   normal people don't just become un-wakeable from sleep.

Passes the time between opening hours ?

Could be methanol poisoning or a kratom session gone cockeyed.

It wouldn't be AN FORUM without speculation, Innuendo's, hypothesis and conjectures. 

 

This is home to all the inspector Clouseau's 🔍

How can it be left idling in gear, if Auto in neutral gear  ok ?  if Manual, unconcious with his foot on the clutch ? !!

If he was drunk or high, it is far better that he parks up at the side of the road instead of driving in traffic endangering others.
