Picture from responders.

 

An early morning traffic crash in Phuket, on 20 May, has left two individuals critically injured after a high-speed motorcycle crash involving a foreign rider and passenger. The incident occurred at approximately 07:40 near the entrance of Soi Phra Baramee 5 on Phra Baramee Road in Patong.

 

According to reports from Pol. Lt. Surachart Thongyai, an investigator with Patong Police Station, the motorbike, allegedly driven at high speed by a foreign national, initially clipped a van before speeding away, losing control and veering into the path of an oncoming SUV. The collision left both the rider and a pillion passenger unconscious, lying in the middle of the road with serious injuries.

 

Eyewitnesses at the scene described the motorbike travelling at a reckless speed moments before the crash. The vehicle reportedly grazed the van and then attempted to flee the scene, only to lose control at a curve and crash directly into the SUV. The impact caused significant damage and resulted in both motorcycle occupants being thrown onto the road.

Emergency medical teams quickly arrived and provided on-site treatment before transferring the victims to a nearby hospital. Both individuals were unconscious and were described as in a serious condition.

 

Police have launched an investigation into the incident and are working to determine the full sequence of events. It remains unclear whether the motorcyclist was under the influence of anything or if any mechanical failure contributed to the crash.

 

Authorities are also seeking to confirm the identity of the foreign national involved and are urging any witnesses to come forward with additional information.
