On Monday Morning, Police Lieutenant Colonel Nipon from Sattahip Police Station along with rescue workers made their way to the Sukumvit Road after receiving reports of a 9 vehicle pile-up. At least one fatality was reported. Arriving at the scene, a foreign man later identified as Mr. Michael J Fearon aged 62 from the USA was confirmed as dead. He was driving a Silver Honda City which collided with a Coach which appeared to have lost control after rear-ending a stationary car at traffic lights. A domino-effect caused 6 other stationary cars to be damaged. A second man was killed in the crash, a Thai Man driving one of the cars hit during the crash. Mr. Fearon’s car was thought to have been entering the Sukumvit from a side road when it was hit head-on by the fast moving coach. The coach was carrying scouts from Bangkok who were uninjured. The coach driver decided not to remain at the scene and is currently being located by Police. The family of Mr. Fearon are now coming to terms with their loss after receiving information of the crash from Embassy Officials.

The sad side to Pattaya. Condolences to the families concerned.

A very sad story indeed..The coach driver fled the scene..A very common occurance..Almost all at fault run from the scene even if they run over a pedestrian nearly everyone will flee the scene..
