Killed he pregnant wife of a policeman?  This will not go well for him. 

 

It was a wonder this even made the news. Thailand aiming for that no 1 position for most deadliest roads in the world. 

 

RIP to the women and unborn. 

 

Such as waste of life everyday on the roads here. 

Every night I see bicyclists on old bikes with no reflectors, lights, and wearing dark clothing.

Running without headlights or using only parking lights?

A pregnant lady in her final tri semester should not be riding in night especially bicycle with no proper lighting.
