in motorbike accident
Teerarak Suthathiwong
An American-Thai man was killed after he slammed his new,
high-powered motorbike into the back of a parked truck on Thepprasit Road.
Amnuay Ananthakul, 21, suffered a fractured skull in the crash just before
midnight May 2 in front of Samui Easy Tech Co. The force of the impact
pushed a Mazda pickup truck 20 meters from its parking spot.
Subban Burton, manager at Samui Easy Tech, said she had parked the truck in
front of her shop and home before receiving a telephone call from an
employee that the vehicle had been rear-ended. The crash actually awakened
her family.
“I was upstairs sleeping like a rock when phones started ringing
everywhere,” Easy Tech owner Stephen Burton told friends on his Facebook
page. “Sounds of a police/ambulance sirens and 50+ folks milling around
Thepprasit Road’s latest vehicle carnage on (the) front door.”
Burton’s damaged truck was impounded, leaving him to work out with police in
the days following to retrieve and repair it.
