Teenage Brit Involved in Fatal Road Collision in Pattaya

A road crash on Soi Nern Plub Wan in Nong Prue, near Pattaya,  left one woman dead and another seriously injured late night on 28 January. The incident involved a Toyota Fortuner driven by a 19-year-old British-Thai man and a red Yamaha Grand Filano motorcycle carrying two riders.

 

At approximately 23:05 Pol Lt. Damchalouay Samkanying, Deputy Inspector of Nong Prue Police Station, received a report of a collision between a car and a motorcycle near Soi Mab Yailia 49. Emergency responders from the Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan Foundation were dispatched to the scene.

 

Upon arrival, officers discovered the silver Toyota Fortuner, registration from Bangkok, with  front-end damage. It had collided with the red Yamaha Grand Filano, registration number from Chonburi, which was wrecked on the road.

 

The motorcycle rider, identified as Ms. Kulthida, 19, and her passenger Ms. Thassanee, sustained critical injuries. Rescue workers rushed them to a nearby hospital. Tragically, Ms. Thassanee succumbed to her injuries shortly after arrival.

 

Eyewitnesses reported that the Fortuner, driven by Mr. Lewis 19, was allegedly travelling at speed, honking aggressively to overtake other vehicles before striking the motorcycle. The impact sent both the riders and the bike flying and dragged them more than 100 metres along the road.

 

Footage from CCTV cameras confirmed the Fortuner overtaking a car at high speed before colliding head-on with the motorcycle, causing sparks and dragging the wreckage along the road.

 

Pol Lt. Damchalouay took Mr. Lewis into custody and conducted a breathalyser test, which found no alcohol in his system. Investigators are reviewing the footage and gathering additional evidence to determine whether reckless driving charges will be filed.

 

The body of the deceased will be handed over to her family for funeral rites, while the investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident continues.

Typical foreigner behaving badly, loads of these idiots on Soi Buakhou.

 

The only surprise is his age, I hope he enjoys Thailand prisons.

P.O.S.

FFS, more carnage, very sad, 70% of news stories on here are about tragic accidents on the death roads, when are they going to take this seriously and do something about it, it cannot go on like this, it really is horrendous 

 

RIP RIP RIP RIP

@MalcolmBany further such unacceptable posts will lead to a time out.

very sad indeed, I hope the deceased family can find the strength to get through losing their daughter so early.   

As for the crazy driver,   to the monkey house for 10 years.

'it cannot go on like this' - but it has for the20 years I've lived here.

'70% of news stories on here are about tragic accidents on the death roads,' - speed is the biggest killer; a direct result of having no police force. - 'RIP RIP RIP RIP' RTP.

Never seen anyone pulled over here in the 8 yrs I have been here, even with traffic police standing right there watching people break road laws, the Thai people know this, so the show (deaths/injuries/maiming) goes on.

Here in Bangkok, never happen, in fact our highway patrol encourages people to speed down the emergency lane during heavy traffic. I have never seen such insanity in my whole life until I came here, the RTP has blood on it's hands.

You can witness it for yourself, go any weekday at about 6am on Sirat Expressway heading South near the new Bang Sue main train station......it's not like it's a secret, in fact they encourage people to exit the highway into the on-ramps then into the emergency lanes at highspeed, most dangerous thing I have ever seen.

Given that 73% of the road fatalities in Thailand are motorbike riders, statistically, you are 50% more likely to be killed in a car crash in the USA

Some people just don’t read past the headline . If we get down to the genetic level for the cause of this crash , I’d wager it was his Thai genetics that were to blame, if he was at fault and driving  like an idiot

I really don't know why so many Brits are involved in accidents, illegals, crimes. Sure, if they are representing the majority of foreigners here? But almost every day there is something connected to British citizens (some Russians, some Chinese). 

Why is that?

I disagree.  They can stop one person,  as 1000's drive bye. 

RTP cannot solve this issue. It is the people driving making the stupid decisions to do what they do.  Poorly educated, selfish, not caring.

they are reckless due to their belief if they come unstuck gofundme will bail them out.

Oh ....I get it, stop nobody, that'll solve the issue? Start stopping people, handing out huge fines, and/or tow dangerous drivers away. Eventually, the idiots will learn, one way or the other.

[cheerz]

Death Penalty needed Thailand, to stop these crimes. This urchin deserves death Penalty to send notice to others who don't care about others. RIP to the victims.

It says British -Thai, so not totally foreign. Maybe  he lives, or even grew up in Thailand.

 

No excuse for driving like that. I 've never been to Pattaya, but I thought the Police there were clamping down on bad driving due to the number of accidents.

His parents might be in for a large compensation bill.

Me,me,me,me,and me.The worlds about to end,so me go first.The sum mentality of most Thai drivers.

He wasn't a rider, either, as scubascuba3 seemed to think, he was one of those in a car!

Show your work and post real numbers per 100k of population.

 

Another factor is the hours driven by Americans. Maybe more accidents but they're spending more hours a day driving and covering more miles.

 

The real test would be how likely you are to die per 100k of population for driving 100 miles of distance, or in other words how many miles do 100k people have to drive before one of them dies in a crash.
