Picture from responders. A high-speed chase in Chaiyaphum Province on the morning of December 21, ended in a dramatic crash involving a taxi, a six-wheel truck, and a police car, leaving multiple vehicles wrecked and several people injured. The incident began around 08:20 when officers from the Lat Yai Police Station were alerted by staff at a nearby gas station that a green-and-yellow taxi had refuelled and fled without paying a bill of 1,750 baht. Police patrol units were immediately dispatched to track the vehicle along the Lat Yai–Chaiyaphum City Road. The taxi was eventually spotted near a factory. When police attempted to question the driver, he sped off into Chaiyaphum City, prompting a pursuit. The chase ended when the taxi veered into the opposite lane and collided head-on with a six-wheel truck before spinning into a police vehicle. The driver of the taxi, identified as Mr. Sanya, a 36-year-old Chaiyaphum native, was taken into custody at the scene. Emergency responders administered first aid to the injured and transported them to Chaiyaphum Hospital for further treatment. The crash left significant damage to all involved vehicles. The six-wheel truck, driven by Mr. Worawit, 38, was carrying stage equipment for an event in Kud Tum, approximately 2 kilometres from the crash site. Mr. Worawit stated that the taxi crossed into his lane at high speed while being pursued by police. Despite attempting to swerve, he could not avoid the collision. During questioning, Mr. Sanya admitted that he had driven from Bangkok to pick up his mother in a nearby district. However, after a disagreement with her, he left the house and stopped at the gas station to refuel. Lacking the funds to pay, he fled the station. Fearful of being charged with thief and aware of a prior legal case against him, Mr. Sanya sped away when he noticed police following him, leading to the crash. Police later confirmed that Mr. Sanya tested negative for drugs. However, his statements during questioning were inconsistent, and investigators plan to conduct further interrogations to establish the full details of the incident. The case remains under investigation, with charges of thief, reckless driving and damage to public and private property expected to follow. -- 2024-12-22 ScreenRecording_12-21-2024 14-50-53_1.mp4

Picture and video from responders. A crash involving five vehicles occurred on Sukprayoon Road near a U-turn by a PTT petrol station in the Kut Ngong sub-district of Chonburi Province in the morning of December 21. A small truck suffered brake failure, crashing into multiple vehicles and leaving two children injured. At 10:30, police officer Pol Lt Thawatchai Laphan from the Panat Nikhom Police Station received a report of the incident. Emergency services quickly arrived at the scene alongside local rescue workers. The primary vehicle involved was a white four-wheel truck, registered in Chonburi, loaded with scrap metal. Its front end was heavily damaged. The driver, Ms. Kasarin, 34, along with her two daughters, aged 10 and 8, suffered injuries after the children were thrown from the vehicle during the incident. All three were treated at Panat Nikhom Hospital. According to Ms. Kasarin, the collision occurred as she was driving her children to sell scrap metal. Upon reaching the U-turn, the truck’s brakes failed, causing it to crash into a blue six-wheel Isuzu truck waiting at the U-turn. The impact forced the truck to hit a white Isuzu pickup truck ahead of it. In a panic, Ms. Kasarin lost control of the vehicle, which then shifted into reverse on its own she claims and travelled 300 metres backward at high speed, colliding with a grey Toyota Revo pickup truck. This truck was parked outside a gatage, where it also struck another white Isuzu pickup parked inside the property. After these collisions, the truck spun back into the road, where it was sideswiped by an oncoming 18-wheel Hino trailer truck. Fortunately, no further injuries occurred, although the children were ejected from the vehicle during the chaos. Mrs. Gift, 28, the owner of one of the damaged parked vehicles, described the scene: “I was buying items nearby when I saw the truck lose control. It first hit vehicles at the U-turn, then reversed at high speed. I shouted, ‘We’re doomed!’ just before it hit my car and then another parked car.” Ms. Kasarin admitted that her truck’s insurance policy had expired, leaving her with no coverage for the damages. Police are investigating further to determine the precise cause of the incident. They plan to review CCTV footage and conduct a detailed examination of the truck. Authorities confirmed that legal action will be taken following the completion of the investigation. -- 2024-12-22 ScreenRecording_12-21-2024 13-23-26_1.mp4

The attack, captured on CCTV, has raised concerns about the lack of prompt legal action. The assault took place on the night of December 18, at approximately 23.20 when Mr. Chiwun was dropping off a foreign customer at a cannabis shop in the Kasetsin area of Pattaya, Bang Lamung District, Chonburi Province. A European man, estimated to be in his 50s, appeared frustrated while attempting to open the shop's sliding glass door. A female employee began to assist, but it was Mr. Chiwun who stepped in to open the door. Without warning, the foreigner headbutted Mr. Chiwun in the face and shoved him onto a sofa. He then removed his leather belt with a metal buckle and struck Mr. Chiwun multiple times on the face and head, delivering punches as well. Mr. Chiwun fled to the back of the shop to escape the assault. The attack left Mr. Chiwun with a ruptured blood vessel in his right eye, cuts to his nasal cavity, a split lip, and severe bruising and swelling on his face and head.

Frustrated by the lack of action, Mr. Chiwun turned to the media for help. "It has been two days, and the attacker is still free," he said. "As a Thai citizen, I deserve respect and protection under the law. Allowing this individual to remain at large is unacceptable. He could harm someone else."

The case has sparked discussions about the need for stronger enforcement of laws protecting Thai citizens from violence, especially in cases involving tourists. Police investigations are ongoing and no details on the name or nationality of the attacker has been released. Mr. Chiwun awaits updates on whether justice will be served. -- 2024-12-21
