PHUKET:-- Police have yet to decide whether to charge a Frenchman for a fatal motorbike accident in Patong yesterday afternoon (Nov 16) that killed 32-year-old Russian national Sergei Gorin.

 

“I was informed of the accident at 2pm yesterday,” Maj Teerasak Boonseng of the Patong Police told The Phuket News today (Nov 17).

 

The accident occurred in front of the Phuket Palace Condominium on Sirirat Rd, from Patong to Karon, he added.

 

“The Frenchman suffered only minor injuries, but the Russian man’s injuries were much more serious. He was taken to Vachira Phuket Hospital (in Phuket Town), but was pronounced dead at 9:40pm,” Maj Teerasak said.

I witnessed the aftermath of that accident. The high power sports bike was well banged up at the front end,  the bike driver looked to me like he would survive. I'm surprised he died. Just unlucky ... RIP

Luck probably had little to do with it. Wearing a good quality helmet properly fastened?

Driving at safe speed for the conditions keeping a good lookout around him?

Experienced in riding big bikes on the left hand side of the road?

Bike well maintained?

If he could tick all these boxes and many more, then maybe I would agree. But we will never know as the quality of fatal collision investigation in Thailand is not up to Western standards.
