The male motorcyclist, whose name and age was not disclosed to the press, was found lying on the road and critically bleeding. Rescue volunteers then immediately performed  first aid before urgently transferring the injured man to a nearby hospital.

Local witnesses told Pattaya police that the accelerating motorcycle was coming in a straight direction at high speed and ran through the red traffic light at the Paniad Chang intersection. The motorcycle driver suddenly crashed into the sedan which was attempting to make a right turn.
