PHUKET: Police have yet to confirm charges against a pickup driver who slammed into five vehicles, killing one person, in Chalong yesterday (Mar 1).

 

Chalong Police were notified of the incident at 1:50pm and arrived to find four cars and two motorbikes scattered in disarray across the ‘Koktanode Intersection’, just south of Wat Tai on Chao Fa East Rd (see map below).

 

Mukpol Artichol, 32, was driving a bronze Toyota Hilux pickup truck northbound when he struck a motorbike taxi that was waiting to turn right at a red light at the intersection.

The driver of the pickup truck, appeared to be drunk. Well,  if not drunk, was it drugs, was he "just" sleepy? Anyway, he clearly wasn't fit to drive and has caused a mans death. Send him to jail and i hope he never drives again.

No...... murder and manslaughter are legally two different things. Intention is the difference.

Lets get the other urban myth out of the way and mention 'Red Bull Boy' as well shall we?

The link says that people have said to them that many details in their report are wrong and they are looking into it. Wonderful stuff. Publish first and check if the info is actually correct or not later.
