A call came in regarding a car, motorcycle accident outside Muu Baan Rungland on South Pattaya Road. Pattaya Police and a unit from The Sawang Boriboon Rescue Foundation responded.
At the scene they found a Yamaha Spark motorcycle laying in the middle of the road and laying close by it's rider Khun Am. Khun Am had suffered a back injury and was in a lot of pain. Medics gave him first aid, strapped him to a back board and transported him immediately to Bangkok Pattaya Hospital for further emergency treatment.
Also at the scene close by the wrecked motorcycle was a Mitsubishi Lancer car that had damage to it's front end. Reporters moved in to talk to the driver but he was belligerent, incoherent and seemed to be under the influence.
Witnesses however were a little more forthcoming and described the accident laying the blame firmly on the Mitsubishi driver who attempted to make a right turn and collided with the oncoming motorcyclist.
Police took statements, took pictures for evidence and then moved on to try to get a sober statement from the var driver.
