BANGKOK, October 26, 2026 — A 30-year-old Singaporean man was critically injured after jumping from the Si Rat Expressway near Makkasan in Bangkok on October 26, 2026, according to traffic police.

Police said the man had been travelling in a taxi from Suvarnabhumi Airport when he asked the driver to stop on the elevated expressway. He then exited the vehicle, climbed over a barrier and jumped into Suan Ratchathewi Phirom below.

The incident was reported to the Traffic Police Division at 12.45pm. Emergency responders from Rajavithi Hospital transported the man for treatment of serious injuries.
