Pattaya One

PATTAYA -- On Wednesday afternoon, Police and medics attended the scene of a road crash in North Pattaya which saw a Swedish National seriously injured.

The crash occurred on the Bangkok-bound carriageway of the Sukhumvit Road in North Pattaya close to a PTT Petrol Station, and resulted in serious injuries sustained to Mr. Johan Bjoern aged 74 from Sweden. Police described a strong odor of alcoholic beverages coming from him but the priority was to make sure he was quickly sent to Hospital, where he was treated for a broken leg and severe facial injuries, along with other upper body and possible internal injuries.

Mr. Bjoern’s motorbike was seen to strike the side of a Jeep Cherokee driven by Mr. Ian Taylor aged 66 from USA and then the Swede was thrown off his bike and across the carriageway. He struck a parked car as he slid to the left-side of the carriageway.

Our Nordic friends enjoy the odd drink

Looks like his friends in the bar will miss him for a while....

74 years old and drunk on a motorbike...pretty much sums up allot about the expatriates in Pattaya. The non-drunk population of Pattaya was lucky to escape unharmed.

Drinking and drivng , did he learn anything after living for 74 years ?

None of this would have happened if they'd just stayed in the bingo parlour.
