S'porean man, 30, gets out of Bangkok taxi and runs onto the road, falls off from expressway
He sustained serious injuries.
A Singaporean man in his thirties exited a taxi in Bangkok and began running on the road, eventually falling off the side of an expressway. The incident took place on October 26th, around 12:43pm local time, according to Siam News. The taxi driver had picked up the man from Suvarnabhumi Airport, the main international airport serving Bangkok.
The man did not specify a destination, only requesting the driver to continue in the direction he desired. As the taxi passed through the Si Rat Expressway, the passenger grew agitated and demanded the vehicle be stopped. Upon halting the car, the man opened the door and ran onto the road. Despite the driver's efforts to follow and warn him of the danger, the man did not cease his actions.
The taxi driver then contacted a radio station to report the situation and request assistance. It was later discovered that the man had fallen from the expressway onto a public park below, sustaining serious injuries. Emergency medical services provided immediate care and transported the man to a hospital for further treatment. Thai authorities are currently investigating the incident, and are collaborating with the Singaporean Embassy in Thailand to determine the appropriate next steps.
