And they both went by the name " Buppa?"

Kind of hard to believe...

Buppa Jones kills Buppa Supona? Yeah, right.

So - if one fact is wrong, what about the other "facts"?

**** UPDATE ****

Two killed in drunken road crash on Pattaya Third Road.

A terrible road crash now from Pattaya Third Road in front of the Buffalo Bar. Police and rescue workers were called to the scene just before dawn on Thursday to deal with a pick-up versus motorbike accident which eventually led to the death of two people.

At the scene, the driver of the Toyota Sport-Rider, Khun Nitaya aged 42, the owner of a bar in Naklua who is also a member of a local Lions Club, was clearly intoxicated and confirmed that she was returning home from a birthday party when she fell asleep at the wheel.

Witnesses saw her vehicle plough into an approaching motorbike driven by Somsak aged 26 who was confirmed dead at the scene. A passenger on the bike, Khun Buppa aged 23 was rushed to Hospital in a critical condition but we understand she later died in Hospital.

Khun Nitaya is now facing drunk driving charges and causing death by reckless driving and the case is now in the hands of the local court.

So, Mrs Buppa Jones, age 39, is really Khun Nitaya, age 42.

Boon Tangsagoon is really Somsak.

And, Buppa Supona, age 18, is really age 23.

You gotta love the accuracy of some of the new reporting around here.
