At around 05:00 on 17 August, police and rescue workers were called to a serious road accident near the U-turn point by Pattaya South Highway Police Station, on Sukhumvit Road.

 

On arrival, emergency responders found a pick-up truck had collided with a motorcycle, throwing the victims onto the road. The pickup had then crashed into a food vendor’s stall outside a premises.

 

A woman was pronounced dead at the scene, while a man was discovered in critical condition with no pulse. Rescue workers immediately performed CPR in an attempt to revive him.

 

Bangkok Hospital Pattaya dispatched an advanced life-support ambulance to assist in transferring the injured man. Despite urgent medical efforts, the victim was later confirmed dead.

 

 

Authorities are investigating the cause of the crash, with the pickup driver taken to the police station for tests and questioning.

One more data point.  The driver with 4 wheels and seat belts survived to be questioned and tested. 

 

Apparently didn't even need to go to hospital.

If you can't, use a taxi or the "baht bus".
