.:: Enduro Ride 08 - The Accident ::.
A year has passed and it seems only like yesterday...Click here for some of the photos taken after the accident.
Our friends decided not to post it but instead Yus compiled it for us into a CD, giving us full privacy and I've decided to post it on the 1 year anniversay of the Enduro Ride 08...
On 16 Jan 08, the accident that has changed part of my life. It happened on a late afternoon, around 4pm, Spore time...Just at the 55km mark to Thakek, Laos.
I couldn't really recall what happened but Din told us that FD6S did a somersault, after Bebeh & I were flung from it!
Fatigue took the toll and maybe its just a reason to change our lives forever. But I'm very thankful and glad that I'm still in one piece, except missing a spleen that has ruptured and some broken/cracked bones! :)
Thanks to the rest of the riders and pillions who rendered help till professional medical assistance arrived the following day to transfer us to Bangkok, Thailand.
Special thanks to Din Manager @ Din Cambodia whose vast knowledge on first aid and rescue mission was put to good use.
Not forgetting my sis-in-law, Ima @ Chomel who puts her nursing skills at test when we were at Thakek Hospital which lacks of medical facilities (prior to the transfer to Bangkok).
And here's the video taken by Ida, while we were lying by the roadside, minutes after the accident.
