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.

Amputation of those limbs (to begin with) would be fair. Then off to the jail.

If this being true the driver and his friends should pay retribution then all capped. End off.

I will be very surprised if P boy isn't able to pay his way out of this!

 

Next.

Looks like another bit of Sputnik 5 space junk has re entered earth.once again a white car with black windows.these seem to be the most dangerous cars on Thai roads apart from mini buses.

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.

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.

...so tracking down the guilty driver cannot be done by looking at the car’s license plate number or register sticker on the windshield?

Some speed involved there. RIP to all the injured, hopefully they will sort out the circumstances of this tragedy so that blame can be apportioned in a mature, fact based analysis vis a vis rampant speculation.

she wanted to get her insurance claim in as fast as possible. a bit of a waiting list for a new Porsche.

Read the report again, he is in hospital with broken legs, they know where he is.

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.

Frikken hungover and tired from playing Hunt for Red October with a 24 year old devotchka.

Some rich, young Thai men do seem to think differently than normal folk.

 

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>?

After reading the first line, I thought, 'yeah pissed up, probably ran away' -- and what happened - speechless....

17 posts and no mention of 'Boy' yet- disgraceful.

 

I'll bite the bullet and take one for the team.

 

Edit: That porche driver must have been travelling at some speed to do all that damage, unfortunately he will walk away from any serious punishment as Hi So mummy and daddy will rush to the rescue.

Probably belongs to his dead friend!

Driving a Porsche.  Ok, a few thousand baht for settlement, a couple of fruit baskets and some wai's, and all will be right with the world again.

Next.

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.

Running away is not done in the West because the penalties are severe. Here it seems an acceptable practice with little to dissuade it.

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

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.

By the way what exactly are normal people and how do they think

Why?  Has he been found culpable of something yet or is speculation enough to justify your suggestion?

He did not run away, he was taken to hospital with two broken legs.  Who said that it was "acceptable" in Thailand to run away (even though this driver didn't)?

 

Where did it say that this driver was the guilty one, he may turn out to be but so far he isn't.

 

"Running away from the scene is not a common occurrence in Western cultures".

It is not at all uncommon!

The police know where the driver is, the report says that and nowhere was it claimed that the driver needed to be tracked down.
