Rimmer Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Two injured in late night motorcycle accident SATTAHIP:--Two people sustained multiple injuries when the motorcycle they were riding veered off the road and struck a concrete kilometer marker in Sattahip. Driver Chanote Ladee, 19, from Bangkok was left unconscious and pillion rider Rungsiya Bantao, 40, from Amnartcharoen received lacerations and deep bruises during the impact which was so heavy it knocked the concrete barrier off its mooring. The motorcycle was a write off. Police surmised Driver Chanote fell asleep at km marker 174 while riding along the dark Sukhumvit Road, Sattahip-Taotan route at 2.30 a.m. Aug 29. Sawang Rochana Thammasathan Sattahip Foundation rescue workers took the injured for treatment to Queen Sirikit Hospital. -- PATTAYA MAIL 2019-09-03-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Always good for news when in the Pattaya vicinity. The other 50 or so motorcycle deaths a day will not make it to the headlines. Just a +1 to statistics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any evidence that he (the driver) did? Face it, he was drunk and drove above the speed that he could handle. Falled asleep, hillarious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can recall fighting drowsiness while riding on highway at night. Possible. At speed, just a momentary lapse is enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
