# S’porean man, 30, runs onto Bangkok expressway despite taxi driver’s pleas, found unconscious after fall

*A Singaporean man was seriously injured after falling from an expressway in Bangkok, Thailand.*

A 30-year-old Singaporean man was seriously injured after falling from an expressway in Bangkok, Thailand.

According to Thai news outlet Siam News, the man reportedly fled a taxi travelling along the Si Rat Expressway before falling into a park below.

## Taxi driver tries to persuade man to return

On Oct 26, the man boarded a taxi at Suvarnabhumi Airport but did not give the driver a clear destination, instead telling him to keep driving.

When they reached the Si Rat Expressway near Makkasan, the man suddenly became “agitated” and demanded that the driver stop the car.

After the taxi pulled over, the man opened the door and ran onto the expressway.

The driver tried to follow him, shouting for him to get back into the taxi for his own safety, but the man continued running.

After losing sight of the passenger, the driver reported the incident to FM91’s emergency assistance service at about 12.43pm.

The radio station alerted expressway rescue workers and traffic police.
