Russian killed in Jomtien road crash
A Russian Tourist and Thai Hotel worker were killed and two others were seriously injured in a two-vehicle road accident on the Sukhumvit Road in Na-Jomtien, early on Tuesday Morning.
The drivers of both vehicles survived the crash, but for now, an account of what happened was only forthcoming from one of the drivers and Police are yet to determine if his account is true.
The crash involved a Green Nissan March, driven by Khun Pachara aged 45, who survived with serious injuries. Also in the car was her work colleague, Khun Ganar aged 48 who was killed along with Mr. Ruslan Khabibzhanov also aged 48 from Russia, who was a further passenger in the car.
The two Thai females work at the Sunset Park Resort & Spa in Na-Jomtien and were reportedly on their way back from Pattaya after a night out when, according to the pick-up driver, they initiated a U-turn maneuver into the Resort, directly in front of the fast-moving pick-up which caused the accident and led to both vehicles crashing into the central reservation.
Police continue their investigation into the crash at this time.
