Gonzo the Face Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 I was told that a Falang was riding a bicycle this morning when he was hit and killed by an automobile. Anyone got any information or hear about this? This morning around 8:30 up towards the elephant camps. Gonzi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackr Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Yeah, I also heard. His name is Mike so I've been told; 65-year-old American who lives at Hillside. The driver was an off-duty policeman, but don't quote me on any of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ajarn Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 (edited) Via email to me this evening... Dear Expats Club Members, It is with regret that I, as CEC president, inform you that Michael Youngfellow, a founding member of the Chiangmai Expats Club, was tragically killed on Saturday, September 9, at approximately 7:30 a.m., in a roadway accident while riding his bicycle in Chiangmai. Without going into details (due to an ongoing investigation) I can tell you that while he and a cycling companion were riding their bicycles near Superhighway, Michael sustained fatal injuries after being struck by a fast-moving vehicle. Khun Nai, Michael’s wife, is currently unavailable to share information about pending religious services (cremation ceremony) which at this time is scheduled for sometime on Tuesday, September 12. .

PeaceBlondie Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 As requested in a report, this topic was split. Your separate comments about traffic safety are now in a topic, "Cyclist Safety in Chiang Mai." Again, our condolences to the family and friends.
