PATTAYA — A British male tourist was attacked by an angry crowd after performing dangerous motorcycle stunts and colliding with a Thai woman riding a motorcycle, leaving her critically injured in Pattaya.
The incident occurred in Soi Bongkot 8, Pattaya City, Nong Prue Subdistrict, Bang Lamung District, Chonburi Province. Pattaya City Police received reports at 5:00 PM on August 14th and found an injured woman beside an overturned pink Honda Scoopy motorcycle that had sustained damage in the middle of the road.
Rescue volunteers immediately performed CPR on the victim, later identified as 49-year-old Ms. Jurairat. She suffered severe head injuries and body abrasions and was in critical condition before being rushed to the hospital.
The other party involved was riding an electric motorbike. Witnesses reported that the young British rider had been performing wheelies and crashed into the victim, but then blamed her for the accident. This angered bystanders who attacked the foreigner, injuring him as well. Police had to intervene in the chaotic scene before rescue workers provided first aid and transported him to the hospital.
Eyewitnesses stated that the foreign national had been riding his electric motorbike recklessly, performing wheelies throughout his journey and nearly hitting pedestrians on the road. When he reached the accident scene, Ms. Jurairat was riding her motorcycle normally when the foreigner performed another wheelie, lost control, and crashed into her, sending both parties flying in different directions.
The investigating officer revealed that CCTV footage from areas near the accident scene will be reviewed to determine the exact cause of this accident and ensure fairness for all parties involved.
