A motorcyclist had a miraculous escape on Sunday when she fell 30ft off a bridge but landed in a flower bed.<br /><br />Sor Sunisa, 22, had been travelling home on her motorbike at 2.30am local time when she went to overtake a driver in Pattaya, Thailand. <br /><br />But the motorist said he saw Sunisa lose control of her bike and hit the concrete barrier - before flying off the bridge.<br /><br />She clattered into the letter ‘P' of the ‘Pattaya’ sign which welcomes tourists to the holiday city then landed face-first in rows of plants that cushioned her fall.<br /><br />Incredibly, the lucky landing of first hitting the sign then dropping onto the soft flowers in freshly laid soil is likely to have saved her life. <br /><br />A few feet either side and Sunisa would have hit solid concrete - potentially fatal without a helmet.<br /><br />Rescue workers arrived within minutes and carried the dazed motorcyclist onto a stretcher and into the back of an ambulance before she was taken to hospital.<br /><br />Witness Thanapol Somboon, 19, said: ‘’I was driving and came to the bridge when the woman quickly overtook me. She lost her balance then hit the handrail on the bridge and bounced off. <br /><br />‘’I hurried down from the bridge to see the wounded person then called the emergency staff for help.''<br /><br />Police Lieutenant Colonel Tongon Pimgaan said officers were now checking CCTV in the area to find the cause of the accident. <br /><br />He added: ‘’This was a high fall at a high speed. If she landed on concrete maybe she would not have survived. The flowers are soft and that helped her.''
