Yesterday afternoon in Rayong province, a heart-stopping scenario unfolded when a 17-year-old, known affectionately as Off, brushed off his injuries from a motorcycle crash to save a precious gift from his girlfriend. The dramatic incident took place on Road 3371 near a school in the Nikhom Phatthana district.

 

Off, who collided with a pickup truck mid-U-turn, sustained leg injuries but astounded everyone by refusing medical attention until his gifted sandals were retrieved. As officers from Nikhom Phatthana Police Station and Siam Rayong Rescue volunteers arrived at the scene, they found Off prioritising his sentimental footwear over his injuries.

 

The incident occurred when the pickup truck was making a U-turn, leading Off’s motorcycle to hit it, severely damaging the bike. Despite his injuries, Off's first concern was ensuring that his girlfriend’s gift—a pair of sandals—was safe. Only after the sandals were found did he agree to be taken to Nikhom Phatthana Hospital.

 

 

Off, a student on internship from Prachinburi Province, knew no one in Rayong, heightening his sense of isolation. Nevertheless, his focus remained on the sandals, a testament to his devotion. Fortunately, Off avoided severe injury, and his recovery is now underway.

 

Authorities are still gathering evidence to resolve the incident with the pickup truck driver. Meanwhile, this modern tale of love and loyalty has captured the hearts of many on social media, showcasing how romance can persevere even in the most unexpected circumstances.
