Apparently not hard enough. As reported by The Thaiger: "The man, later identified as Paul, a 54 year old Swedish national, was groaning in pain after his head had been crushed by the vehicle’s wheel. He was immediately given first aid and transported to a nearby hospital, but later succumbed to his injuries." The woman, shown in the video, who tried to raise him from the parking lot pavement unsuccessfully, prior to the impact, was his wife. Not a very happy story to tell the grandkids about whatever happened to grandpa. https://thethaiger.com/news/pattaya/drunk-swede-run-over-after-passing-out-in-pattaya-car-park

I saw it here on Asean Now Forum a few hours ago, but, Thaiger, the parent company, is likewise reporting : " The man, later identified as Paul, a 54 year old Swedish national, was groaning in pain after his head had been crushed by the vehicle’s wheel. He was immediately given first aid and transported to a nearby hospital, but later succumbed to his injuries.

Woke means empathy. Any other meaning, beyond the historical context, is just right-wing brainwashing. Whether the Bolt driver would have hit any object, animate or inanimate, is purely conjecture, and irrelevant. There some other points you've misunderstood, but we'll agree to fundamentally disagree. 🥱--> 😴 The Swede is dead, its unlikely there will be any further facts revealed, and tomorrow they'll be another death. So what. 'Nuff said

The driver was working for Bolt, so, it's safe to presume that he's a Thai national. Perhaps you're implying being Thai he's predisposed to negligence in vehicular accidents. I'd say that's a generalization. No, it wasn't the manufacturer's fault, he was driving a normal sedan, not an SUV or Hybrid, and I'll admit that as a bit of a tangent, though valid elsewhere, particularly in the US. In this incident, there is obviously shared negligence, it could have been prevented by either party, and thus the investigation will likely determine joint liability and culpability. RIP Swede

Ahhhh, I see, so it's a more generalized conjecture based on your grouping all Thai drivers as incompetent. Understood

Any other races or nationalities you'd like to eliminate? Genders? Religions? Does "Indians" only refer to people from India? Or does it extend to the entire Sub-Continent (Nepal, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bhutan, and Bangladesh). Arabs? Non-grata? Or just Muslims? 😐 Or is your disdain more generalized, (and less rational) , ie hating everyone equally? Just curious

No, that's a non sequitur, you're making a comparison between alternative situations and drawing the same conclusion. Standing vertically looking at one's phone (stupidly unaware) whilst in the middle of a parking lot, Or, Half bent over picking up a 10 baht coin Are infinitely more visible, and NOT in anyway the same as laying flat, passed out on the pavement. If the drivers had been driving an SUV or even some crossovers, there's absolutely no way they would have seen an adult body, or even a toddler standing. That's a testimony to the inherent danger of some automobiles in terms of blind spots, and to some extent an irrational trust of the driver that there's nothing there, when in fact, due to their obscured view, there's no way of knowing, beyond exercising heightened caution ⚠️ at all times, especially at 3am outside a bar

It was an "accident" only in so much as an accident is an incident. There was shared negligence and thus liability and culpability. So, yes, we'll agree, this wasn't an "act of god" or an incident that couldn't have been prevented by either party.

Santa Claus is imaginary. This is an actual person, an adult of legal standing, who got himself so inebriated as to pass out in the middle a parking lot. That's a choice. Not an accident. There are safer places to pass out, like a sidewalk, at home, or inside the bar/club he was drinking. At the very least, he rejoined eternity, on a stretcher DOA 'Nuff said

I always reflect, some mother's little boy, some child's father. Of course we don't know the circumstances Still, such a senseless death RIP

I feel empathy for the 14 month old baby whose head was crushed, fatally injured, a few days ago, having been dropped from a motorcycle driven by the baby's drunken father. For this accident, I feel nothing, other than compassion for the Bolt driver to whatever extent guilt over partial negligence will remain in his psyche forward. Still, perhaps it will inspire presence and great caution

Blackouts have their privileges Who hasn't woken up in in intensive care with no recollection only to discover 6 years have past

I expect that goes without saying

Any other petty personal grievances you'd like throw shade on publicly? Jews? Female drivers? TSA? Newark, New Jersey? Can't wait to hear 🫣

"Happens to you all the time"? 😳 What kind of world do we live in that it's not perfectly acceptable (and safe) to pass out, blind drunk, anywhere, anytime, even in the middle of a parking lot. Who'd a thunk? In all likelihood, though, the investigation will find a determination of shared negligence and thus comparative liability
