Just after daybreak on Saturday a 20 year old motorbike driver was killed in a road crash involving a Bus and a pick-up. Police and rescue services were called to the Sukhumvit Road in Central Pattaya, in front of the St Nikolaus Catholic Church, to deal with the accident which left Khun Pornchai dead. He was lying on the road with a severe head trauma and it was determined his head had been run over by the real wheel of the bus, operated by Nakonchai Air which runs between Rayong, Pattaya and Ubon Rachatanee in the North-East of Thailand. The drivers of the pick-up and bus were questioned by Police and confirmed the same story whereby the bike and its driver drove between both vehicles which were parallel to each other, and the bike clipped the pick-up, a Black Toyota Vigo driven by Khun Somporn aged 45. The bike became unstable and fell to the road along with the driver who ended up falling underneath the bus, which was slowing down to initiate a u-turn maneuver. He was then run over by the rear wheel of the bus and died on the spot. Police detained the bus driver, Khun Somsak aged 49, and the pick-up driver who were taken to the Police Station for further questioning. Police have indicated to us that they believe the motorbike driver was solely to blame for the accident as the other two vehicles appeared to have been traveling at a normal rate of speed, according to other witnesses at the scene.

A suspected drunk driver destroyed his own car and damaged two parked vehicles which in-turn damaged the roof of a house, in a high speed road crash on the train track road running along the east side of Pattaya late on Saturday Night. Police and rescue services were called to the section of road behind the Nong Yai Temple just after 10pm on Saturday to deal with the accident. Their efforts were initially concentrated on a severely damaged Pink Nissan NV driven by Khun Sitipon aged 42 who was suspected of being heavily intoxicated. He was seriously injured and rushed to Hospital. The passenger in the vehicle, who refused to give his name, was less seriously injured but also taken to Hospital as a precaution. Two parked vehicles on the left side of the two lane carriageway were damaged. Both belong to nearby food vendors who were working at the time of the crash. Witnesses saw the Nissan NV approach at speed and  spin out of control and the vehicle was seen to initially come into contact with a parked Grey Mazda pick-up which was shunted into a Blue Ford Pick-up. Due to the force of the impact the Ford came off the road and struck the side of a house, damaging part of its roof in the process. The suspected drunk driver was arrested at the scene prior to going to Hospital and will be charged after he is declared fit enough to leave Hospital.

A Motorbike driver was killed in, what is thought to be, a single-vehicle road accident on the Sukhumvit Road in Jomtien early on Thursday Morning. The dead man, who reportedly clipped the curb and was catapulted off his bike into a pile of large concrete blocks on the pavement, was carrying no ID and is thought to be in his mid-thirties. A witness claimed he saw the bike approach at speed and it initially clipped a refuse bin on the side of the road. The bike then hit the pavement throwing the driver onto the stones. A sticker on the front of the bike suggested he may be a resident at a Government Housing Project in the Na-Jomtien area but his identity is still unknown. For now the body has been taken to the Morgue at Banglamung Hospital pending further investigations.
