The aggressive BMW driver captured in a viral video intentionally ramming into a pickup, arrogantly insisted that both he and the injured pickup driver were at fault, the public disagrees.
The incident occurred on the Bangkok Outer Ring Road motorway in Pathum Thani.
“I would like everyone to watch all the footage. The dashcam videos that initially circulated may cause misunderstandings, suggesting I was solely at fault. There is another video that explains why I had to drive that way.”
The BMW driver, later identified as 28 year old Smiththipat “Peach” Leenawarat, was to blame. He was seen on video repeatedly attempting to cut in front of the pickup before ultimately colliding with it, forcing the pickup into a traffic barrier. It is confirmed that peach is the son of Kritsada Leenawarat, ta powerful local politician in Pathum Thani. Peach recently stood or election as a candidate for the Thanya Buri Municipal Council.
Despite public outcry over Peach’s reckless driving, Kritsada defended his son in a media interview, claiming that he is normally a careful driver.
The 65 year old pickup driver, Prachak Duangyai, suffered broken ribs, while his 64 year old wife, Somsri Duangyai, who was seated beside him, sustained minor injuries. Prachak reportedly remains in a hospital in critical condition, and Somsri is said to be suffering trauma.
