Seven people were injured when two Russians racing
large motorcycles crashed into a yogurt cart.
Speeding their powerful Suzuki choppers down
Sukhumvit Road after midnight Jan. 8, Denis Fatykhov, 37, and Vadiv
Shitchenko, 26, swerved to miss hitting a public bus and plowed into a
motorbike-and-sidecar yogurt stand carrying Puempol Buankhum, his wife
Khwanta Cheuncharoen and their three children ages 3 months, 10 and 13.
The accident near Ratchanawee Stadium in Plutaluang
cut the yogurt cart in two and sent the four adults, three children and
cartons of Dutchmill yogurt flying. Fatykhov and 13-year-old Nathpol
Ratchpithak were seriously injured and transported to Queen Sirikit
Naval Medical Center for treatment. Others suffered cuts and bruises.
Puempol said he and his wife had just finished
working in Sattahip and were driving home when the speeding Russians
from Pattaya swerved among traffic, narrowly missed a bus and lost
control before plowing into him.
