An Indian father has been killed in a devastating Jetski accident off Pattaya Beach on Thursday. The man, riding in the Pattaya Bay with his 14-year-old daughter, died after a collision with another Jetski. The young girl is currently in a critical condition in hospital.

Pattaya, the 24^th of June 2010 [PDN]: At approximately 7:00pm on Thursday, Lieutenant Colonel Preecha Sumrit (Pattaya Police Investigator) was notified of a Jetski accident involving three foreigners across from the Royal Garden Plaza in Pattaya Bay. An investigative team was immediately despatched to the incident whilst the Pattaya Memorial Hospital’s emergency response team was also called to assist.

Two of the involved tourists, Mr. Uma Dhar Kesarwani [46] and his daughter Miss Sakshi Kesarwani [14] had already been transported to the hospital in a critical condition upon police arrival. Officers were later informed that Mr. Kesarwani had died of his injuries whilst enroute to the hospital. Emergency Response personnel later revealed that Mr. Kesarwani had suffered a broken neck and left leg in the accident. His daughter was in a critical but stable condition at Pattaya Memorial Hospital suffering from a dislocated hip and broken jaw.

Investigations revealed that Mr. Kesarwani along with his wife, son and two daughters had hired a Jetski (yellow & white) from a local operator at approximately 5:00pm. The family had been taking it in turns to ride around in the Pattaya Bay when Mr. Kesarwani and his daughter collided with another Jetski (black, red & white) travelling at high-speed. Witnesses state that the other rider was of Indian/Middle-Eastern nationality and had fled the scene, apparently uninjured, immediately after the collision.

Mr. Kesarwani was rendered unconscious following the accident whilst his daughter was crying out for assistance. The pair were promptly aided to the shore by nearby Jetski operators before being sent to the hospital for treatment. At present, police have confiscated the two involved jetski’s whilst a distraught Mrs. Kesarwani and the owner of the yellow & white Jetski, Mrs. Maew Khamharn [52], were escorted to the station to provide statements over the matter.

Officers will now attempt to locate the other man involved in the accident whilst attempts to contact the owner of the black, red & white Jetski have been unsuccessful. Fortunately officers have been presented with a photograph of the missing man, taken moments before he began riding the Jetski. Police urge anyone who knows or has knowledge of the whereabouts of this man to immediately report the information to the Pattaya Police Station.

These indians do not drive in their own country and if they do the roads are so conjested, they are unused to traavel at high speeds. They shouls beware when driving jetski at 100K. Stupid curry muncher.

The operators of the jet ski/yellow and white. And all the other operators along pattaya beach, do not know who owns the black/red and white jet ski ? The person that was on it had fled the scene? Oh here's a photo of a person on the black/red and white one iv'e found from my old stock of photo's from last year, Ahh we forgot about the Darkness, what a scam!! These Thai operators fly up and down the bay at the end of the day,showing off just before they take them out of the water for the night, look no further than a thai operator/his thai friend who caused it. anyone else would have been held by the jet ski operator and 20 thai friends to await the police. Old Picture/Thai SCAM !!!!

With respect to the news that was published on the website (url attached), if the person was a real estate developer or in past he has been so, then this person was involved in multi million rupee housing scam and had number of criminal civil cases filed against him by many persons who had taken flats sold by him and his crooked associates.

God has his ways of balancing things..!!

Anyway, may his family have good thinking and return all the money which was amassed by Mr. U.D. Kesarwani illegally from so many people.

Best regards...!!

The most interesting aspect of this story is the issue surrounding the payment for repairs to the jetski.My guess is 50- 100,000 baht should suffice. Maybe they can bring in JJ from Phuket to broker a deal. for the Indian money launderers.

Sorry, but no sympathy for the collision participants. The rental of these polluting noisemakers in a congested area and where there are people swimming is indicative of selfish stupid people that think only of their own personal pleasure.
Jetskis are not toys. They are fast and powerful. In the hands of inexperienced drivers, they are a lethal weapon.
Many will disagree with me, but if more stupid idiots kill themselves renting these jetskis, the message might sink in; Do not rent the machines.

Some good comments made here. What a tragedy. What i fail to understand is the reported time. The report says "about 5.00 pm" but it clear from the photo of the man on the black, red and white jet ski, allegedly taken BEFORE the incident, that it is dark and the street lights are on. It was not dark in Pattaya at 5pm. If there is no regulation banning the use of these vehicles during the hours of darkness there damned well should be.

The guy in the picture has his jeans on. Strange way to jetski!
Probable he did first some barhopping & drinking and then rented a jetski.

Arab + beer + motorbike or jetski = trouble

The report says that Mr. Kesarwani had died of his injuries whilst enroute to the hospital.
I can only imagine a compression collar was not applied around the neck before being transported to the hospital. the video shows his leg has been supported but not the neck. perhaps someone should look into this and see if pattaya's resque teems are properly trained.

Pattaya might be doing well trying to loose these 'cowboy' elements.

Tourists driving bikes triple the size they can handle.

Operating jet-ski's close to shore and at night(!) are just two of the things one could mention.

I understand Pattaya needs some things to attract tourists but they should not bring danger to these tourists at the same time.

The number of tourists has been growing since the 90's, a time at which it was already to crowded at the beach to operate jet-ski's.

Also, having pawn shops is a recipe for disaster as it allows people to bring in their stolen goods eventhough this should not be possible at all..

From the photos in this report it looks like its already night. Its small wonder accidents occur when people are allowed to ride jetski's in the dark. They don't have headlights like cars.
