Kiwi flees from fatal road crash in Central Pattaya
Posted on December 29, 2012 at 3:55 pm
A New Zealand national is wanted by Police after he was involved in a fatal road crash which left a South Pattaya Motorbike Taxi Driver dead.
Just after 2.30am Pattaya Police were called to Soi Diana Inn in front of the Diana Inn Hotel where rescue workers were attending to the taxi driver, Khun Priyadar aged 53 who is based on Walking Street. He was not breathing and was being given CPR. He was rushed to Hospital but was pronounced dead-on-arrival.
Police spoke with Khun Sumaree aged 32 who claimed she was on the back of a bike belonging to a New Zealander and the pair were on their way to Soi Neun Plab Wan in East Pattaya. She claimed the pair had met earlier in the night and she was unaware of the exact location of the man’s house.
Both bikes collided head-on and despite the fact it was a fairly low-speed collision it is thought the taxi driver fell awkwardly and may have broken his neck. Police will wait for the results of a postmortem examination to confirm the exact cause of death.
As soon as the crash occurred the foreign man decided to leave his companion on the street and drove off at-speed from the crash scene on his Honda Click motorbike displaying a red number-plate.
Police are now analyzing Security Camera images from the surrounding area as they hunt for the New Zealander.
