One of the most dangerous corners / intersections I know is just 500 metres from my house.
There is an accident there almost every month.
I use it several times a day, going in & out.
And sure enough my number came up 2 nights ago.
hit by / collided with a young gal on a Scooby, whom I never saw until the impact!
We were all lucky -myself, son Jason on the Versys with me, plus the female Scooby rider - nothing broken.
I was the only one required to spend a night in hospital, I was asked to spend another couple of days, but one night - day was enough. I'm mobile, but quite sore - ribs, arm , shoulder on the right side where I went down.
Jason did not go to the hospital - he's tougher than me?
The girl was checked out at Nakorn Ping hospital & sent home - road rash on her knees & back of the hand.
Everyone was wearing a helmet.
In the next few days, the real damage assessment & insurance negotiations will be decided.
Both the Scooby & Versys took quite a hit - I was accelerating out across the intersection, but did not quite get it right; & there's a few bent bits & pieces on both bikes.
Take care out there, as Songkran is coming &that's the most dangerous time of the year to be out on the road; but you won't see me out there.
A big thank you to all the well wishers on my facebook site.
