webfact Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Woman cyclist killed in suspected hit-and-run case By The Nation FILE photo//Google maps A woman was found dead on a Chon Buri Road in a suspected case of hit and run early on Monday. Two motorists alerted Samed Police Station in Muang district at 3.30am that a bicycle wreckage and a woman's body were found on the Bang Saen-bound Sukhumvit Road in a short distance before Wat Charoonrat in Moo 1 of Tambon Huay Kapi. The two motorists spotted the body, called police and waited at the scene. The woman appeared to be around 50 years old. Police believe the bicyclist might have been hit by a car and she might have been run over by another car and both had fled the scene. The two motorists, who called police, also admitted they had run over the body. They were identified as Sakthat Samerwong, 25, and Porchai Nitinai, 31. Police have yet to check footage of security camera to find the ones responsible for the woman's death.

Emster23 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 I doubt this was suicide, and as no driver hung around, why use term "suspected" with hit and run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katipo Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 At least two people did right by the poor woman and called the police. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post petermik Posted July 2, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 2, 2018 Thailands roads are among the most dangerous in the world...undisputed and well recorded fact......do you really think the transport department here is concerned about what is reported as "hit and run" or any other road related death to categorise as such.......nah absolutely not 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, there is no excuse for the abysmal standard of driving and the attitude of those using the roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Krataiboy Posted July 2, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 2, 2018 (edited) Don't be too quick to condemn the motorists involved. Did the dead woman's bicycle have lights? If it did she was a rare exception to the rule. I've lost count of the number of cyclists - and motorcyclists - I've seen riding lightless, and often in dark clothing that renders them virtually invisible on all but very well lit roads.

Srikcir Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 1 hour ago, Expatthailover said: Uk has worse stats than thailand for hit and run. I hope you cite a reference for this claim. It could contribute to a more useful discussion. With regard to distribution of road traffic deaths by type of road user, the UK did have a higher percentage of cyclist deaths than Thailand (by my judgement comparing pie charts) by a factor of 300%. But then total UK road traffic deaths was only about 7.5% of Thailand's total road deaths. http://www.who.int/gho/road_safety/mortality/traffic_deaths_distribution/en/ So it might follow (or not) from such data that the UK having a much smaller incidence of cyclist deaths compared to Thailand that the UK would also have a much smaller incidence of hit and run. No where could I find in my search a breakdown of cyclist deaths by "hit and run." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time I drive at night, and I do mean every time, I see scores of bikes without rear lights, many of therm without any lights at all. Not sure in this case of course, but if these others got hit , they would have been the cause of their own misfortune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first and second motorists did a runner so one can assume that they did not give a @%&* The second two who also ran over the body did care because they reported the whereabouts of the body and stayed at the scene They informed the police that they had also run over the body Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I forgot it happened in Thailand, where the use of headlights is infrequent. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
