Drunk man from USA crashes into British family on dream holiday in Koh Chang

Cops are hunting an American who crashed into a British family while allegedly driving drunk on a motorbike in Thailand.

Gregory Yamada, 39, ploughed into a couple and their four-year-old daughter on a dream holiday, leaving them with critical injuries.

The Brit dad, 36, said the driver was “evidently still very drunk” and showed “no remorse” after the crash.

His wife, 40, was knocked unconscious in the horror smash and suffered severe injuries to her head and body.

Their daughter’s eyes, face and body were injured when she was thrown into the air.

She also suffered a sinus fracture from the impact to her face.

The family were on holiday in Thailand and walking along a footpath on the island of Koh Chang when they were hit.

Yamada, from San Jose, California, was allegedly four times over the limit at the scene.

He was driving a powerful Honda motorbike and was charged with “driving while drunk causing a crash that injured other people”.

Cops have since issued an arrest warrant for him after the fugitive is thought to have fled across the border to Cambodia.
