Mr Chotichanok, 29, the pickup driver, told police he was travelling at approximately 100 kilometres per hour. He stated that the woman ran across the road from the left to try to reach the central reservation and he was unable to brake in time, resulting in a violent impact. The driver of the Toyota said he was travelling behind the pickup and could not stop in time, running over the victim as she lay on the road.
A witness, Mr Chaiporn, reported seeing the woman exit the convenience store and run across the road beneath the footbridge before being struck in front of him. Police said they have documented the scene and questioned both drivers. The pickup driver maintains that the victim cut in front of his vehicle, preventing him from braking in time.
