PATTAYA, Thailand – A devastating head-on motorcycle collision on Chalerm Phrakiat 3rd Road on the night of August 6 left four Thai women and two foreign men critically injured.
The accident occurred in the early hours when 19-year-old Kuwaiti motorbike rider, Mr Abdalaziz, collided head-on with another motorcycle carrying four Thai women.

A bystander reported the accident to rescue services. In addition to the injuries, two parked cars were also damaged in the collision. Police have inspected the scene, documented the evidence, and are now reviewing CCTV footage to determine the exact cause of the crash and the sequence of events leading up to it.
