webfact Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Hunt on for pick-up driver who fled scene leaving five year old with a broken leg and head injuries Picture: Thai Rath A social media hunt is being mounted after dash cam footage was posted online that showed a pick-up collide with a motorcycle on the Phra Nang Klao (New) bridge leading to Bang Bua Thong in Nonthaburi yesterday morning. Father Chatramongkhon Roppheungchu, 37 was taking Chanon or "Nong Title" to his kindergarten class at 7.20 am when the accident happened. The little boy suffered injuries to his forehead and a broken left leg. He was taken to hospital by foundation medics who were soon on the scene. Earlier the dash cam footage had captured the father cradling his stricken son as good Samaritans rushed to help. Doctors said an X-ray would reveal if there was brain damage, reported Thai Rath. While the father has appealed for help in tracking down the pick-up driver who he wants to take responsibility and pay for the treatment for his son. Sanook reported that the accident had been reported later to the police at the Bang Sri Muang station. The cops were now in possession of the dash cam footage and were studying CCTV to get a lead on the pick-up and its driver.

BEVUP Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Why do they need to study CCTV They have it as clear as day from the Dash Cam So why is it taking them so long to track him if he was the owner of the car (number plates usually tells where one lives, which should lead to his where abouts ) PS: I also forgot that alot of the Thais travel around like gypsies so vehicle could be registered in Nakhon Nowhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prakhonchai nick Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Fleeing the scene after an accident, whether responsible or not, should automatically carry a prison sentence, in addition to any other punishments meted out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

car720 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 No amount of education will ever educate these folk. Even the father is more concerned about getting money to pay the bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard_smith237 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Gosh - yet another event where a father and child are knocked off their bike by a careless driver.... I haven't seen the footage of this event... (which I believe is a different accident than that posted yesterday which occurred on Prachachuern Road, Bangkok in which a Father and Son were knocked off before the pickup sped away).

trainman34014 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Another day...another Numpty Thai driver. Hope the kid recovers well and the Father starts thinking more about the kids welfare and less about money ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alien365 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Riding his bike in the cars blind spot? Not on the inner side of the lane like the other bikes, no helmets and not being aware of traffic around him. If I was the dad I'd be blaming myself just as much as the driver. I also thinks someone needs a new dash-cam as the picture quality is terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wotsdermatter Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Many children will continue to be injured even if wearing crash helmets. Why? Simple, they are standing in front of the seated in the driving position instead of seated behind the driver. However, Thais seem to believe, - "IT WON'T HAPPEN TO US." Oh, yeah? Prove me wrong on that point Mr. Mrs., and Miss Thailand. It happens more times every day here than in other countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did, but he also had head injuries, hence my original question as to whether he was wearing a helmet ( I should have specified fitting and quality of the helmet too).
