Man Rushes Injured Girlfriend to Hospital on Motorcycle
An 18-year-old woman fell from a third-floor dormitory balcony in Rayong on July 28; her boyfriend rushed her to the hospital on a motorcycle, but a blanket became tangled in the wheel spokes until rescue workers arrived to help.
At midnight on July 28, 2025, rescue officers from the Sawang Prake Kusol Foundation in Rayong received a report of an 18-year-old woman who had fallen from the third-floor balcony of a dormitory in Chiang Noen subdistrict, Muang district, Rayong province, and rushed to assist.
While en route, officers found the woman's boyfriend transporting his injured girlfriend on the back of a motorcycle heading to the hospital. However, the blanket wrapped around her body came loose and became tangled in the motorcycle's wheel spokes, making it impossible to continue riding. Fortunately, rescue officials arrived just in time, provided immediate first aid, and safely transported the woman to a private hospital.
When questioned, the boyfriend explained that his girlfriend had walked out onto the third-floor dormitory balcony shortly before the fall. He was unsure of exactly how she fell to the level below. Shocked and worried about his girlfriend—who reported severe pain in her back and both legs—he did not wait for emergency responders to provide proper first aid for a fall victim. Instead, he hastily put her on the back of his motorcycle to take her to the hospital himself.
When they reached Highway 36, the blanket slipped and wrapped around the motorcycle's wheel spokes, causing the bike to break down. Fortunately, rescue officials passed by, found them, and helped transport the injured woman to the hospital in time.
