snoop1130 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Minivan driver crushed to death by his own vehicle in freak Pattaya parking lot accident A Pattaya to Bangkok minivan driver was killed when he was crushed by his own vehicle in a South Pattaya shopping center car park. The mini-van - that a co-driver said had had a problem with its gears - went over parking dividers and crushed Prasert Janechat to death by a roofing support. Witness Anuchit Jaroensap said he was riding his bicycle around the parking lot when someone informed him a man had been crushed. He rushed to the scene but the driver was already dead. He called the police. When Pattaya policewoman Chanikarn Pheuanphinit and her investigative team arrived there was a big crowd at the scene. There was no CCTV in the area to help police determine what happened. They found the gear in neutral. Co-driver Somsak Songsuk, 30, arrived on the scene shortly thereafter and told investigators that the vehicle had gear problems. The body of the victim has been sent for autopsy.

You seem to believe the "co-driver". It could be the case. It could also be that the van was driven in a sloppily dangerous manner leading to the collision with the stationary object and the co-driver was just in the habit of blaming a mechanical failure for all driver errors. 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leither69 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 A van rolling forward a few feet is unlikely to crush a man. Similarly, a van jumping in and out of gear at opportune times is also very unlikely 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Vacuum Posted July 13, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 13, 2018 This is my theory: Driver entered the parking lot after a long drive. Suddenly felt that he must relieve himself very quickly, stopped the van and run to the pole/roof support to do his business.

Somchai Logic Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Som Nom Nah. Continue driving (or have the vehicle running) without any forethought for your own, or worse anyone else's safety. They will never learn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcoast Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I'm not saying what's obvious, but the guy is standing up partially inside the driver's door. Looks to me like he was outside the van as it rolled and tried to jump in or control it somehow but got crushed as it rolled into the support.
