Picture from responders.

 

A 40-year-old bank cash transport employee suffered severe injuries after falling down a loading lift shaft at a well-known bank in Pattaya on February 23. The incident occurred at approximately 07:40 prompting a swift response from the Pattaya Emergency Rescue Foundation.

 

Upon receiving the emergency call, rescue personnel rushed to the scene located on the third floor of the bank, situated on Pattaya Second Road, Bang Lamung District, Chonburi. Upon arrival, they found the victim, identified as Narut Yuthasuntorn, unconscious with serious head and spinal injuries, with significant blood loss.

 

Witnesses reported that Narut had been preparing to transport cash to various ATMs in the Bang Lamung area. According to Ms Aor, his 41-year-old supervisor, Narut was facing away from the lift as he pulled a cash bag into the lift, mistakenly believing the lift had arrived at his floor, but he lost his footing and the momentum of the bag caused him to fall into the open lift shaft and sustaining the critical injuries.

 

Rescue teams quickly provided first aid at the base of the shaft, before carefully extracting him from the lift shaft on a spinal board and transporting him to Pattaya Hospital for urgent medical treatment.

 

Authorities and bank officials are investigating the incident.

So the doors were wide open to an empty lift shaft?

Can't blame him, lift should have been there

Maintenance, Service, - two words missing from the Thai vocabulary.

So, while Narut was lying at the bottom of the shaft very seriously injured, where was the bag with the loot and what happened to it? There would have been a lot of people milling around.

Whoever is accountable for that lift should be in jail.
