A Singaporean man was seriously injured after falling from a viaduct in Thailand on Monday (Oct 26).<\/p>\n
According to Thai traffic radio station FM91, the 30-year-old exited a taxi that was travelling along an expressway in Bangkok.<\/p>\n
The taxi driver told the radio station that he had picked up the Singaporean passenger from Suvarnabhumi Airport.<\/p>\n
The cabby was instructed to keep driving, without any destination specified.<\/p>\n
When they reached the Si Rat Expressway, the man appeared to be “agitated” as he repeatedly demanded for the taxi driver to stop.<\/p>\n
After the cabby pulled over, the passenger opened the taxi’s door and ran onto the expressway.<\/p>\n
The driver said that he attempted to follow the man and convince him to return to the taxi, but the man ignored his pleas.<\/p>\n
When he lost sight of the man, the cabby reported the incident to FM91’s emergency assistance service at around 12.43pm.<\/p>\n
Traffic police, alerted by the radio station, later found a man who had fallen off the viaduct into a public park below and sustained serious injuries.<\/p>\n
The man had climbed over a barrier before falling from the expressway, Thai media reported.<\/p>\n
He was identified as a Singaporean and was taken to a nearby hospital by emergency responders.<\/p>\n
Local police are investigating the incident and working with the Singapore Embassy in Thailand for the next steps.<\/p>\n
AsiaOne has reached out to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Singapore Embassy in Thailand for more information.<\/p>\n
