Ten young people returning from a late dinner injured after SUV driver crashes into road barriers in Pattaya

Pattaya –

  Ten young people have sustained various injuries after a Toyota Fortuner driver crashed into road barriers in the Pattaya area early this morning (April 21st), but luckily nobody was seriously injured or died despite heavy damage to their vehicle.

The Pattaya City Police was notified of the accident at 1:30 A.M. near Motorway 7 Section 5 in Nongprue.

Emergency responders and The Pattaya News arrived at the scene to find the damaged white SUV and barriers on the roadway.

Ten injured people were found inside and around the SUV who were six men and four women. Amazingly, despite the impact damage to the vehicle, most had only minor injuries and needed only basic treatment at the scene of the accident, with at least two being taken to a nearby hospital for moderate injuries. There were no serious injuries or deaths in the accident.

One of the passengers who was barely injured, who declined to give his name, told Pattaya News reporters that the group of young twenty-somethings were from Rayong and were coming back home from a night out and dinner in South Pattaya. The driver was reportedly confused about the flow of traffic in Pattaya and not familiar with the area, causing him to crash into the road barriers at high speed.

Pattaya Police have declined to place any legal charges in terms of the accident at this time, only stating that the ten young people were very lucky to be alive and mostly uninjured.
