Attached few pics..

This last week there have been many accidents.

Tuesday I saw two bikes down, near The Islander in Rawai, one lady bleeding profusely. Wednesday Chalong Circle, Thursday a two ambulance number.

How about this guy in these photos (?), speeding on the straightaway, misses the turn onto the beach road and goes smashing about? Had to be booze.

Anyway, it's amateur hour on the roads these days, be careful y'all.

Another brake failure? They seem to be quite common in Phuket.

GOM's assessment probably right, however.

Thats crazy! Definitely booze. What time did it occur? Anyone know who the farang is?

Being reported in another media that it was a 46 years old Swiss guy who died, and his Filipina girlfriend who was also in the car is in Vachira. About 5.30 a.m. apparently.

Is this another accident, I saw the building had been destroyed last week!

[flip]

no, this is an accident which happend 5.30am today..

last one was a russian guy with his mercedes... but this was not last week, its a while ago..

the russian was "stopped" by the concrete piles of the "building".. and no serious injuries last time..(airbags!)

So what is happening there? Is it a race track being used by drunks going too fast? to get over the huge kern you would have to be doing an insane speed!!

[IrishIvan]

530 am he was definitely doing the laguna-icon run

[eezergood]

wow

[hansgruber]

This happened years ago when 3 farangs died in a range rover if my memory serves me correctly.

[Spoonman]

Solid Effort !!

[Tywais]

I was wondering how that could happen but see it now with a Google view.

Correct: insane speed and/or no brakes and/or accelerator stuck, or suicide bid. Take your pick.

I hear bikes roaring up and down Viset Road quite often. Also hear ambulances nearly every day.

I was going to pop down and see if the car is still on the beach, but I really can't be *rsed.

Many races at night on wiset.

Russians racing the muscle cars and Porsches. They race for settling bar bills.

So Rawai Pier at the end of Viset Road....slow section ??? road to the right along the beach pass 7.11 and Nikitas why on earth would you be going that fast ????

[bikkalad]

PS....hopefully no innocents where a casuality ???

OK, I missed the "trying to avoid a police checkpoint in Chalong" reason.

No reason for driving so fast, though.
