Pattaya Rescue workers, firefighters and a unit of the Sawang Boriboon Rescue Foundation were called to the scene of a multi vehicle pile up in South Pattaya.
Outside The Big Boy Furniture Store on South Pattaya Road they found a Toyota Fortuner that appeared to have crashed on it's own into two parked vehicles a Jeep and an Isuzu pick-up. The Toyota had major damage to the front end and was thought to have been going at a fair rate of knots when it met with the unmovable parked cars.
There was no sign of the driver of the fortuner who had obviously left the scene at an equal rate of knots maybe to sober up after his ordeal.
The problem for the rescue workers was a gas leak that was spewing the contents of the LPG fuel tank of the fortuner around the accident scene. Firefighters doused the area with their water hoses to help dissipate the leaking gas until it was clear for the workers to move in and remove the damaged vehicles from the scene.
