A Chinese man driving a van collided with a motorcycle in Pattaya early this morning, tragically killing a young Thai woman at the scene.
At 3:20 AM on December 1st, Banglamung police received a report of a serious traffic accident on the railway road inside Soi Nongprue, Pattaya. Upon receiving the report, police coordinated with Sawang Boriboon rescue workers and a medical team from Banglamung Hospital before rushing to the scene, along with reporters from The Pattaya News.

Nearby, the injured motorcyclist, identified as Ms. Phattharawadee Amphuch, a 20-year-old Thai citizen from Nakhon Sawan province, was lying in a pool of blood. Rescue workers performed CPR to try to save her life, but unfortunately, she succumbed to her injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.
