Picture from responders.

 

A 42-year-old construction worker died after his motorcycle skidded off the road and into a canal in Nakhon Nayok on December 6. The incident occurred at approximately 14:00, in the Wang Krachom Subdistrict of Mueang District. Despite attempts by emergency responders to resuscitate him, the man was pronounced dead at the scene.

 

The victim, identified as Phithak, originally from Udon Thani, was riding his motorcycle when it veered off the road and into the canal. A local resident, 65-year-old Bunta Homphom, witnessed the crash. She recalled hearing a loud noise and saw Phithak’s motorcycle slowly slide off the road. He then asked for help to lift the bike out of the canal.
 

Bunta advised him to wash off the mud before attempting to move the vehicle, but soon noticed that Phithak appeared unsteady and possibly intoxicated, stumbling as he walked.

 

Phithak spent around 15 to 20 minutes in the canal, trying to wash himself off. Concerned, Bunta again approached him and saw him struggling in the water, desperately trying to stay afloat. She immediately called for help, and bystanders managed to pull him from the water. 

 

However, Phithak had already lost consciousness and was unresponsive. Rescuers arrived and attempted CPR for more than 30 minutes, but their efforts were unsuccessful.

 

A Honda motorcycle, which had been covered in mud, was found nearby, having fallen into the canal along with Phithak initially. It was later confirmed that he was a construction worker who often worked in the area.

 

Phithak’s family revealed that he had a history of epilepsy and had been hospitalised for the condition in the past. Authorities have sent his body for an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death.

No helping a drunk idiot...

I don’t understand why they didn’t just go help him out earlier. Wash off?  I’m confused. Sad way to go.
