An ex-pat Irishman who died in a high-speed car crash was reportedly having sex with a Thai woman when the collision happened, investigators believe.
The speeding black Suzuki lost control and hit a post at 1am on Wednesday morning, killing teacher John Malone, 39, in Chiang Rai, northern Thailand.
Rescuers who arrived at the scene first found John wearing just a blue t-shirt while a naked Thai woman was on the black passenger seat – neither had their seat belts on.
Pictures show John lying naked on a stretcher while the young woman is unclothed in the car but unconscious.
The male driver – who was clothed – and the female front seat passenger who were both Thai were treated at Kasemrad Sriburin General Hospital.
The volunteer rescue foundation Siam Ruam which attended the crash said authorities were now investigating.
A spokesman said today:
“One foreign man died in the crash. The staff helped to bring out the bodies and give first aid.This was a black Suziki Swift and it was speeding.We think the man was having sex or maybe a b****** in the the car.There were three Thai people and one foreign man. Two of them were women. They were injured and the driver was unconcious but only the man died.
“How it happened exactly we do not know yet. From the scene we know that the two passengers did not have clothes on. The man had a small t shirt.
The rescue foundation said that all three of the other people involved in the crash were Thai and that John, originally from Co Longford, was the only foreigner.
The driver and the front seat passenger are in a serious condition.
