Mix recounted seeing the girl clinging to the truck, initially thinking it was a prank. His concern grew as the vehicle continued, eventually swerving and causing the girl to fall, resulting in minor injuries. Before the incident, the girl had reportedly met a 30-year-old man on April 23 who promised to help her find a job. Allegations include that the man took her to a hotel for sexual activity, then to a barbecue spot before attempting to abandon her near the reservoir.
Following the incident, Mix reported the case to the Nong Prue Police Station. The girl was taken to the hospital, and her family was contacted. Her parents have filed a complaint against the driver, accusing him of sexually abusing a minor. Police have yet to question the girl, as interviews with minors require the presence of legal professionals and prosecutors.
Looking forward, authorities aim to conduct formal interviews with the girl involving relevant professionals. Investigations are ongoing to identify and locate the driver, with potential charges pending based on further evidence. The community awaits further developments amid serious allegations and legal proceedings.
