Chonburi —
A vehicular collision critically injured a Thai man on Sukhumvit Road in the Sattahip district on January 8th, 2024. However, the quick response and skilled medical intervention of a female doctor who happened to work near the scene miraculously saved the man’s life.
At 12:05 PM yesterday, the police received a report of a traffic accident involving a motorcycle and a pickup truck, located 100 meters from the Bang Saray intersection. Upon arrival, authorities found Mr. Suwan Wongdee, a 52-year-old Thai motorcyclist, lying unconscious and not breathing in the middle of the road.
While rescue personnel were administering life-saving CPR to the man, Dr. Pajaree Wiangkaeo, who happened to be nearby, immediately rushed to assist them. Along with nursing staff, she provided first aid, using medical equipment from her nearby workplace, the Bangkok Pattaya Clinic’s Bang Saray Branch, to save the victim’s life. An ambulance arrived later and rushed Mr. Suwan to a hospital.
Eyewitnesses to the heroic moment highly praised Dr. Pajaree and the nursing staff, saying they were amazing, and Dr. Pajaree “didn’t hesitate to jump in and help, even though her clothes were getting stained with blood.”
The victim’s green Kawasaki KSR motorbike lay damaged at the scene. The involved pickup truck driver, Mr. Witoon Panichthai, 40, waited to provide his testimony to the police.
According to him, he was approaching the intersection, and the traffic light had just turned green. He then saw the victim attempting a U-turn but allegedly abruptly changed into his traffic lane. Unable to brake in time, Mr. Witoon collided forcefully with the victim, causing him serious injuries.
The police will further question the pickup driver and eyewitnesses to gather information for legal proceedings.
