Thai rescue workers spent more than four hours helping a foreign man who broke his leg after crashing his off-road bike in a remote area in Pattaya yesterday, March 19.
The incident happened near the Huai Khun Jit Reservoir in the Khao Mai Kaew area of Bang Lamung district, Pattaya. Rescuers from the Sawang Borriboon Dhammasatan Foundation walked more than two kilometres to reach the injured man, crossing steep terrain to get to the scene.
The rider was later identified as 64 year old Bruce Michael Wood. His nationality was not mentioned in the report. Rescuers said he had wounds across his body and a broken left leg. The team provided first aid before moving him out of the area on a stretcher.
Wood told rescuers he had ridden his motocross motorcycle into the area before crashing on a steep section of the track.
SiamRath reported that the rescue was complicated by the conditions of the terrain. The team spent more than four hours transporting Wood from the site before taking him to Pattaya Bhattamakun Hospital.
