A chaotic sequence of events unfolded on the roads of Phuket as a Thai motorcyclist and his Italian passenger attempted a hasty escape following a collision with a van. However, their flight ended tragically when they subsequently crashed into an SUV, resulting in serious injuries.

 

The incident occurred on May 20 at 7:42 a.m., near Phra Baramee Soi 5 on Phra Baramee Road in Phuket's Kathu district. Patong Police officers arrived at the scene to find a severely damaged red Honda Zoomer X motorcycle and an SUV with significant bumper damage. Fortunately, the SUV driver emerged unscathed, but the motorcycle's occupants were found unconscious and in critical condition, requiring immediate transportation to Patong Hospital.

 

Authorities later identified the motorcyclist as 23-year-old Hakimi Sudha, a Thai national, and his passenger as 28-year-old Yazid Idrissi Aatouf, an Italian citizen. According to eyewitnesses, Hakimi first collided with a van near the Karim Roundabout and fled at high speed, only to lose control and crash into the SUV moments later.

 

Police have summoned the van driver for questioning, who confirmed that the motorcycle had indeed hit his vehicle before speeding away. At this time, the police have decided not to press charges against Hakimi until both men have recovered sufficiently for further interrogation.

 

The incident sparked discussions online, with netizens speculating that Hakimi might have been operating an unlicensed ride-hailing service for the Italian passenger. This speculation has prompted calls for police to investigate the legality of the service, as well as concern from local taxi drivers. Many have taken to social media, urging authorities to enforce stricter control on illegal ride services, citing potential safety risks to passengers due to non-compliance with standard safety protocols.

 

The case remains under investigation, as authorities gather more information and await the recovery of both injured parties to shed light on the full circumstances surrounding the accidents.

That's a lot of damage to the car by a Zoomer motorbike. They must have been full speed to have done that. Lucky if they survive.
