Young British National Killed in Head-on Motorbike Collision


Share
Young British national Adam William Menagh has tragically died in a head-on motorbike accident whilst his passenger an unknown Danish national has been taken to hospital in a critical condition. The rider of the other motorbike, a Thai national, has also died in the accident.

Phuket, the 23rd of February 2010 [PDN]: Young British National due to fight later in the week at one of the boxing stadiums in Patong died instantly when his motorbike collided with another ridden by a Thai man at approximately 5.30 am on 22nd February 2010. A Danish man riding pillion with the Brit was seriously injured and taken to Phuket International Hospital by a passerby. He remains in a critical condition in the Intensive Care Unit.

On arrival at the scene, Police found the bodies of Adam William Menagh [22] and Chainarong Wathana [24] on Chao Fa East Road, opposite Soi Thanoothep in Chalong at 5.30 am.  They had both suffered severe head trauma and had died instantly.

Police assume Mr. Menagh’s motorbike may have veered across the lanes on his way into Phuket Town causing him to collide with Mr. Chainarong as he came from Phang Nga province, heading towards Chalong.

Neither of the two victims were wearing helmets.  Police will continue with their investigations in an attempt uncover the reasons behind the fatal accident.

adam was not drunk at the time of the crash. He was a very sensible and dedicated young man and i think before you post comments you should think a bit more about what you're saying about someone you never met and don't know a thing about. Grow up

To "DING DONG" that is rather incensitive,as well as a number of these other comments,there are close friends and family reading this,do u not see the sheer ignorance,what if it was one of your friends? he was a great guy and at the end of the day numerous tragic parties were involved. So please don't leave horrible comments because it is rather hurtful to anyone that reads this. AND I HOPE WHEN YOUR DAY OF JUDGEMENT COMES YOUR IDIOTIC COMMENTS ARE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT! It doesnt matter what country you are from there are some good and some bad,and sadly you tarnish people with the same brush. He was a great friend, R.I.P Ad,x

Stupid Brit - yes out drinking for sure, You can tell that from the direction the bike was travelling. Out on the piss all night then drives home.
If he was a boxer he would be in training ring @ 5.30, not speeding thru the streets. Good riddance

Im not sure if this is the same guy Im talking about, but I have been partying with an englishman named Adam from England in Phuket, 21-22 yr old. He also had brothers there. He was a very nice guy, and bought beer for me. His family runs a gym in London? He told me he had a great life, with more than enough money to do everything he wanted to.

Can this be the same guy?

I never want to be drawn into commenting on this. Adam Menagh was a talented, ambitious soul who like every other 22 year old lived life for the moment. A person who dies so tragically should not be spoken about so disreptfully when they are not here to defend themselves. Maybe Perdy and Rob would like to consider how they would feel if this was their child, how the parents feel that they are having to bring their son back on his final journey, of all those people touched by his presence. Your unhelpful, selfishly written comments do nothing to comfort those who are griefing, facts are immaterial in death so tragic! I hope you never have to deal with something like this and read the comments that those who cared and loved him have to read. Adam Menagh and atrue, honest, honourable guy who will be loved and missed by all who met him. xx

just like to say to u very extremely sad lowest of the low people that it really is not necessary for you to even comment on here if u are going to slander a poor helpless victim who cannot defend himself, Adam is a lovely young lad, oh yes thats right he is young and british so he must be a wrongun, (OR NOT, A LEGEND THAT WAS GOING FAR IN LIFE, A TALENTED SOUL) u dont know him so therefore get a life and do not even waste ur evil minds on writing ur pointless waste of time comments!!! let u be the victims family one day and then u will feel there pain and imagine how u will feel when u see these sickening comments! Adam has touched many lifes and lived his dream!! Adam we all love you dearly and you are with the angels now, u will be so missed and we will never forget you, and now Adam you are in the better place, you will guide us all in life and ensure we do well, but one thing i now is that you will never be joined with these low life people who clearly have no point on being on earth but to cause severe pain, they will not be coming to paradise where you are, they will be taken to that place where all the wronguns go, where torture takes place!! god bless you, sweet dreams Adz xx

I too am appalled at the idiotic and childish comments from the select 'men' who have posted on here. Being a friend of Adam, it's sickening to read up on my friends death, let alone reading these comments by others.
If it hasn't already occurred to you, people who knew Adam are looking for updates on the tragedy as well as information as to what happened that night. Until you have the facts in front of you, I suggest you keep your comments to yourself. My thoughts are with all parties involved, and I hope that the Danish individual recovers in hospital. Rest in peace Adam, you will be sorely missed by all your friends and family. You were a genuine guy, and for that I am thankful that I met you.

I also was a very good friend of Adams, and some of these comments below are to be quite frank just sick. Rob, John and Paul. You three I can honestly say are the saddest and lowest people I have come across in a long time. In this incident no one knows the facts, no one knows if he or the thai driver was drunk, we can only right now go by what we actually know. And that is that two young people have tragically had their lives needlessly cut short. I seriously hope that any one else who wants leave comments on here think about the familes of Adam and the thai gentleman that died. Think about the added pain that such idiotic, sick and pointless comments may cause to any family or friends who may read them. Ad, you were a legend mate, sleep well, and if you have any hauntings to do, I guess we know who will now be on the short list. I love you and I am sure we will see eachother again one day x

Surely it will be possible to establish the point of collision and determine who was on the wrong side of the road. Not that it makes much difference. Sadly neither rider was wearing a helmet.

Why is it every time I read comments on this site, there are posts about stuff that's not even in the story. Where does it say the boy was drunk??It is said the boy or it may be the thai guy, who veered over the other side. Unless there were witnesses, no one will know for sure who was at fault. Rob do you realise what an asshole you sound like, read what is there and don't assume or put your own version. Every one can see for themselves what you commented about is not in the story.

If you see someone drinking a lot try and make sure he is not Driving.
Bars should put up notices to look out for customers on motor Bikes.
or get the Bar Ladies to look out for Drunk men.
we can all help each other.

Yeah, but no, but yeah....

john, you blame us Brits for drinking excessively yet you've lived off the profits for the past 25 years - how many bar girls work for you? Look in the mirror hypocrite.

If the brit was a fighter, it's highly likely that he was heading to train at 5.30AM. In my experience, Thais drive on the wrong side of the road, not foreigners - but it's wrong to jump to conclusions without the fact.

Rob -I'm pretty sure that somebody is keeping you a seat warm in hell, right next to the sewer.

To Rob and Perky sorry to disappoint you guys but there is NO hell, earth is Hell. Because when you die your body rots in the ground and your soul leaves your body. So when you die if someone tries to burn, stab, kick your soul they would only be striking thin air. Because when you die you do not eat, drink, sh*t, piss, fart, or have sex. It all ends here on earth.
