webfact Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Driver wrecks house in early morning crash By The Nation A 28-year-old Thai man lost control of his sedan and crashed it into a Somtam vendor's house on Mae Sot-Mae Tao Road in Tak's Mae Sot district early Sunday morning. The unnamed driver who was seriously injured in the 1am crash was suspected to be driving the vehicle under alcohol influence, said deputy inspector Pol Captain Prayuk Khamra of the Mae Sot precinct. The crash impact had broke Saengchan Saemsri's front porch's concrete pillar in half and caused the concrete wall of her living room to collapse, while her pick-up truck's right side was dented. The alleged drunk driver's Toyota Camri sedan was found to overturn by the crash impact which also sent the driver flying through the front windshield. The seriously injured driver was unconscious and rushed Mae Sot Hospital. Saengchan said she and family members were sleeping in the back section of this one-storey house when they heard a loud crash. They found that the sedan had crashed into the house's front poach and living room. Police initially suspected that the man was driving in high speed and lost control of the vehicle at the curve near this house. Police said they would test him of the alcohol level in blood as they suspected he might also be intoxicated.

Popular Post NewbieMe2018 Posted March 12, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2018 The victim whose house was damaged has his name published while the perp who was drunk driving, is simply an unnamed guy. This is why it is ok to cause an accident. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answer to that is easy, driver is probably related to a senior policeman, or is a policeman/local government official. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RichardColeman Posted March 12, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2018 Don't know why they assume hes been drinking. I mean that's very rare in Thailand. And if he had, it was probably that the bottle of whiskey found in the car broke and poured into his mouth on impact - baht offer dependent. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanleycoin Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 (edited) Perfectly normal driving behavior in Thailand. Why assume he was drunk, they don't need alcohol to do this. but it does give them an excuse, rather than admitting they are bad people. it could brake there little faces. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm surprised it even made the news. Edited March 12, 2018 by stanleycoin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonnapat Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 So many of these accidents happen during darkness. One lesson I have learned is NEVER to be driven by a Thai after dark, you're risking your life even more than usual 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this driver was named in an article that suggests he was drunk he can sue for damaging his reputation. Just another aspect of the lunatic asylum that is Thailand. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If news report him as drink driving, it should be a result of the journalist having obtained a record of the breathalyzer. I guess somchai could crash into the newstation if he is upset with the tainted reputation.Same like the fire at Pattaya Walking Street. A few hours later they concluded it was due to transformer. Do they even know what a forensic expert is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
