Two people were hurt when their Mitsubishi Pajero hit a power pole, slid into a ditch and slammed into a bridge abutment outside Pattaya.
The unidentified male driver was found unconscious while a female passenger suffered severe injuries in the April 14 crash on Rong Po-Khao Maikaew Road in front of Sontaya Engineering.
Both were transported to Banglamung Hospital.
A witness told police he saw the Pajero driving at high speed in the opposite direction, then suddenly lost control before knocking down the utility pole and careening into the ditch.
