Video: Shots fired as ice truck chased across NE Thailand - "high" driver captured

 

Caption: Ice van changes gear and flees!

 

Police chasing an ice delivery van across several districts in the north east of Thailand fired shots to make the driver stop. 

 

The action was shown on a composite video on the Sanook site. 

 

The drama started in Wichianburi, Petchabun, when the van failed to stop at a checkpoint.

 

Police chasing radioed ahead but still the driver went through further checkpoints set up in Phu Toei and Sri Thep districts. 

 

As the van was in a secluded section near the provincial border with Lopburi Pol Col Pheerapetch Ubonjit of the Wichianburi police decided to fire to shoot out the tires.

 

This stopped the chase and Bunlai, 50, was surrounded and taken into custody. 

 

He appeared to be high on drugs and/or alcohol. 

 

Eight Ya Ba tablets were found on his person and his urine tested purple, a positive sign for drugs.

 

He was initially charged with possession and taking of a Class 1 drug and driving under the influence of drugs.
