Phuket late-night motorbike accident in Kamala hills leaves one dead, one injured

Police have yet to determine what caused a motorbike accident in the hills of Kamala, on Phuket’s west coast, sometime in the early hours of this morning that killed one woman but left a man with minor injuries (April 22).

Lt Col Somnik Damkaew of the Kamala Police and Kamala rescue workers were called to the scene, in a forested area away from the main road near Laem Son Beach, soon after sunrise.

At the scene they learned from Anuwat Amnuaygarn, 24, that he had only recently regained consciousness after surviving the motorbike accident late last night and had called for help from a passer-by.

Mr Anuwat, shirtless, had suffered bruises and scratches on his body. Rescue workers provided first aid before taking him to Patong Hospital.

Found some 10 meters away from a damaged Honda motorbike among the undergrowth was the body of Nujan Wirunpan, 35.

She died about six hours before her body was recovered, according to medical experts at Patong Hospital.
