A BACKPACKER’S trip to Thailand turned into a “holiday from hell” after she crashed a moped through a window.
The tourist sliced her face open from side to side and needed 56 stitches after the collision.
Emma Lewis, 24, was driving the scooter when she lost control and crashed into a house window while on the way to go snorkelling in Koh Phangan.
A taxi driver quickly came to her aid when he witnessed the aftermath of the crash and drove her to a local medical clinic.
Emma’s injuries included deep cuts on her left shoulder, right thigh and knee – as well as the wound on her face and severed tendons in her right foot.
She was “x-rayed and packed with gauze” before being rushed to Bangkok Samui Hospital in Koh Samui, in two ambulances and a speedboat.
