rooster59 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 One dead, pregnant woman loses baby in Porsche/motorcycle horror smash Image: Thai Rath Thai Rath reported on the aftermath of a terrible accident to the west of Bangkok in the early hours of Friday morning. A Porsche Cayman S was involved in a collision with two women on a motorcycle at 3 am in Putthamonthon Sai 3 Soi 5. The carnage happened as the vehicles collided outside a car repair yard. A friend of the women told Thai Rath that Tern, 24, had lost her leg. But she managed to call her husband for help on the phone. However when he arrived at the scene she died. She was the mother of a two year old. The other woman, Oo, also 24, also lost a leg and had to have an arm amputated in Sirirat Hospital. She also lost her baby - she was about three months pregnant. She is in ICU. Unconfirmed reports suggested that the Porsche driver was picked up by friends and taken away from the scene. It was alleged that no help was given to the other victims. Further claims were made that the Porsche driver had earlier been seen drinking alcohol. Pol Capt Napasakon Thongsaeng of the Nong Khang Phlu police said that an investigation was underway but that those involved had not yet been interviewed and there was no clear idea of what happened. CCTV is being studied. Capt Napasakon said that the Porsche driver was in hospital with two broken legs.

Popular Post toenail Posted March 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 16, 2019 No culture is perfect but some how it is acceptable for a guilty Thai driver ( car, bus, truck) to shamelessly run away from the scene instead of taking responsibility of the accident or helping those at the scene- No balls-No compassion. Running away from the scene is not a common occurrence in Western cultures. I keep asking myself what kind of Buddhism is taught in Thailand??? All I see are Thais concerned about getting “good merit” at their local temple but not treating each other with compassion. 18 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I see are Thais concerned about getting “good merit” at their local temple but not treating each other with compassion. it has nothing to do with religion, it has to do with consequences; in the west if you hit and run you know that you will a) probably be caught and b) there will be consequences for the accident plus added consequences for running away, in thailand there is an inept, inefficient, unprofessional and corrupt police force and judicial system, so people know they can get away with it, so of course they run. 24 1 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinnock Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Like everyone here I'm sure we've helped friends out of difficult situations, but if a friend had killed or maimed two young women whilst driving drunk, there's no way I'd just whisk him away from the scene. He'd be told to man up and face the music, then I'd post bail for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just trying to picture the scene, two young women badly injured, one trying to phone her husband for help with her last breath, and you pick up your drunken friend and drive off? <deleted>? 15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar happened up here in UT a couple of years ago. Outside a market, hi-so and his Porsche or Lamborghini, killed a Lao market worker, decapitated her, left the scene of the accident. Tracked down later. Never went to jail. Rough justice or there is no justice, depending what brand of car you drive.... Sickening. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post seajae Posted March 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 16, 2019 (edited) those that picked up the driver and took him away should be charged, obviously not wanting his alcohol limit checked but they should also have helped the injured women. Will see if the police are pathetic once more and do bugger all to the driver and his helpers or do the right thing and charge them all, will depend on how rich he or his mummy and daddy are Edited March 16, 2019 by seajae 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here it seems an acceptable practice with little to dissuade it. I also believe the penalties (and enforcement) dissuade a lot of criminal behavior. I like the laws in the states where this could be classed as 'vehicular homicide' with life sentences available. Imo anyone who drinks or gets high and drives and then hurts or kills someone doesn't deserve their liberty. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
