Minor Accident On Leaving Baht Bus

[sharecropper]

On Tuesday morning, Pattaya Police Station was informed about an accident on 2nd Road behind Royal Garden Plaza. Police and a Sawang Boriboon Rescue Team rushed to the accident and found Miss Sompong, age 27 lying on the road.

Not far from the lady, there was a Bronze Honda Civic; belonging to a Mr. Tepin Chainsamran, a Pattaya City official, who was waiting for the police.

Witnesses said that Miss Sompong was stepping down from the back of the bahtbus but she lost control and fell on the road before getting hit by the car of Mr. Tepin. He was too close so he could not swerve away in time. There was blood coming from Miss Sompong’s nose and a slight wound on her arm. She was sent for treatment while the police questioned Mr. Tepin.

Forgive me my interest in quirky/crap reporting of small news items in Pattaya, but <deleted> is this report about?

If any of you can bear to listen to the sonorous tones of the dreadful talking head on the news report video, please do so and perhaps you can suggest why this news item is being so downplayed.

A woman "losing control" as she steps from a baht bus, only to be hit by some speeding jerk (oh, who happens to work at City Hall - and therein may lie the key), as she falls.

How many people have you seen "lose control" as they step off a baht bus in broad daylight only to be hit by a speeding car- in 8 years here I have seen none. What does it mean? Did she trip? If a speeding car hit her and not the baht bus at the same time, that's remarkable driving.

And if someone has blood coming from their nose, I'd say that's a serious sign of internal damage after a car accident, not some superficial injury to be brushed aside.

I just don't get this news report. Perhaps Mr Mellifluous could come on and tell us why he reported it as he has. But thank goodness he's apparently medically trained and could quickly diagnose her arm injuries as a "slight wound"

And also why this is a minor accident. It sounds like a serious accident, Unless he's bumsucking.

It has serious pubic policy implications - should Pattaya have a fixed speed limit, did this idiot drive dangerously fast? How can you be injured by a following car when you're getting off a baht bus?

As usual, we'll never know, until Colov retools his rag back into the paper that isn't scared to print anything except anything that might upset its thousands of connected honorable advisers, people he knows, likes, fears, respects, doesn't want to annoy for advertising reasons, or whatever.

Have you considered that the car maybe was passing the baht bus at the time he was unloading passengers and that the lady may have fallen on the other driving stroke?

Why post it in the first place???

Surprised there are not many more such incidents daily...

Probably the Baht bus lurched as she was alighting, even if the Honda was driving slowly if he was passing the bus just as the lady fell he would have had no chance of stopping, given the minor injuries he could not have been going fast at the time of impact, his only fault was he was passing too close to the bus, as any intelligent driver will know you should pass Baht Buses with a wide birth as it is a well known fact that some BB drivers are real psychopathic lunatics.
