A 20 year old woman lost her life in a fatal traffic collision early on December 1 in Pattaya, Chonburi. The incident occurred around 03:20 on the railway road, at the junction with highway 3240, the road leading to Mabprachan Lake, in Nong Prue Subdistrict, Bang Lamung District, when a white Toyota Alphard van collided with a motorcycle, resulting in the death of the rider.

 

Emergency responders from the Pattaya City Volunteer Rescue Team, along with medical staff from Bang Lamung Hospital, rushed to the scene after being notified of the collision. Upon arrival, they found a damaged black Yamaha Forza motorcycle having collided with a roadside sign, after being hit by the car.

 

The motorcyclist, later identified as Ms. Patrawadee Amput, a 20 year old woman from Nakhon Sawan, was discovered lying in a pool of blood, with no signs of life. Rescue workers performed CPR in an attempt to save her, but she succumbed to her injuries and was declared dead at the scene.

 

Nearby, the white Toyota Alphard involved in the crash was found with front-end damage, with debris scattered across the ground. The driver, Mr. Wang Yu, a 40 year old Chinese national, was present at the scene and was accompanied by 4 other Chinese nationals who were also waiting to speak with authorities.

 

 

Witnesses at the scene provided crucial details about the incident. Mr. Theerasak Phakchai, 31, who was sitting outside a convenience store nearby, described seeing the Toyota Alphard driving along the railway parallel road in Nong Prue. As the motorcycle was crossing the junction heading towards Sukhumvit Road, the van collided with it at full force.

 

The police have conducted a detailed investigation of the scene and have collected photographic evidence for further review. Authorities are also reviewing CCTV footage from the area to determine the exact cause of the crash. The police are continuing their investigation, and legal action will be taken based on the findings.

 

Meanwhile, the body of Ms. Amput was transported to Bang Lamung Hospital, where it will be kept pending identification and arrangements by her family.

And last night about 7pm there was another at a junction just North of there, I think it is Suk-Pattaya 15. Causing mayhem.. a bike on it's side and a person laid out on the road and not a chance an ambulance could get anywhere near. Bangkok drivers and out of towners trying to get home after a busy weekend, and kids whizzing about without helmets is a feature of these special weekends, as is the toll on the roads. I nearly got mowed down crossing Bua Khao earlier at the RCon corner, as the kid took the bend (rather impressively if dangerously).

Pattaya police's laissez-faire policy continues to pay dividends.

So who had the right of way...

How did the "Pattaya police's policy" contribute to this accident?
