Irish crash victim in coma

A 39-YEAR-OLD Kerry electrician was in a critical but stable condition in a Thailand hospital last night following a motorcycle accident.

Lawrence Fleming from Park Road, Killarney, had been on a golfing holiday with friends when the accident occurred three days ago.

Mr Fleming, who is also well known in Kerry soccer circles, has been in a coma since the crash, the details of which remain sketchy.

The group of friends were due to return home today.

The accident happened in Pattaya, a former fishing village and favourite haunt of holiday-makers.

Pattaya has extensive sports facilities and is very popular with golfers.

Mr Fleming’s family operate the up-market Whitebridge Caravan Park in Killarney.
