Police officer Lt. Yutthaphon Boonkoet of the Najomtien Police Station received a report at approximately 18.45 on December 11, of a high-speed motorcycle rear-ending a car, resulting in two individuals being injured. The crash occurred at the entrance of Wat Nong Jab Tao, on Sukhumvit Road heading toward Pattaya, Najomtien Subdistrict, Sattahip District. Emergency responders from Wat Yan Sangwararam Hospital and Sawang Rojana Thammasathan Rescue Foundation were dispatched to the scene.

 

At the crash site, authorities found an orange-and-black Suzuki Z800 motorcycle (license plate from Chiang Mai) overturned and damaged in the middle of the road. The motorcycle’s riders, both foreign nationals, no further details disclosed, as neither individual carried identification documents, and their names remain unknown. Both were immediately transported to Wat Yan Sangwararam Hospital for treatment.

 

Nearby, a yellow MG3 sedan (license plate from Rayong) was found with damage to its rear. The driver, Ms. Chutikarn Sornsuwan, 26, remained at the scene and cooperated with police.

 

Ms. Chutikarn explained that she had just left the MG service center near Wat Nong Jab Tao and was merging onto Sukhumvit Road with her turn signal on. While doing so, she noticed the high-speed motorcycle approaching but was unable to avoid the collision. The motorcycle crashed directly into the rear of her vehicle. She promptly called for emergency assistance.

 

Police documented the scene and have taken Ms. Chutikarn’s statement. They will await the recovery of the injured riders to gather their accounts before proceeding with legal action.
