The German Managing Director of the well-known Lomatec Company based in Jomtien was killed in a single vehicle road accident in Jomtien just before daybreak on Saturday.

Police and rescue services were called to Jomtien Second Road in front of Soi 9 just after 5.30am to deal with the crash which caused the death of Mr. Michael Lambauer aged 39 from Germany, who has lived in Pattaya for many years and was the Managing Director of the Lomatec Company based in Jomtien. He was also a Harley-Davidson enthusiast and member of a local Motorbike Club.

Witnesses to the crash suggested he was driving at a high rate of speed and erratically as he approached a curve in the road which he was unable to negotiate. The bike hit a street pylon head-on which caused the immediate death of Mr. Lambauer who suffered major life-ending injuries to his upper body. At the time he was driving a 750cc Harley Davidson which sustained major damage consistent with a high-speed collision.

Police examined tire tracks and confirmed no other vehicles were involved. A post mortem examination will take place which will include a toxicology exam to determine if excess alcohol may have contributed to the fatal crash. The investigation is ongoing.
