PHUKET: A fatal epileptic asthma attack is believed to have killed a man whose pickup truck ran off Thepkrasattri Rd in Thalang early this morning (Oct 15), Thalang Police have reported.

 

Thalang Police Deputy Chief Lt Col Phichai Phupommin was notified at 4am that a pickup truck had run off the road near the Toyota Next Center on Thepkrasattri Rd just north of the intersection with Route 4031, which leads to Nai Yang and the airport.

 

At the scene, police and rescue workers found a Phuket-registered Isuzu pickup truck with a 40-year-old man* originally from Nakhon Ratchasima dead in the driver’s seat.

I have not a lot of medical knowledge, but is it to possible to have an epileptic attack and an asthma attack simultaneously?

Surely the guy shouldn't be driving with epilepsy?

With that Number Plate the Devil must have decided his fate !

You're comparing Thailand to civilised countries that require driving licences and declarations of ailments and health.

I suppose you could count it as a 'break' in the family tree with this fatality.

Faulty amulet.

Really bad luck. If the vehicle had landed upside down the registration plate would read an auspicious 999.

Amazing how BIB have solved it so quickly?

They used a soothsayer, who read it in the tea leaves.

Think where he had the accident then ask yourself about the question.

I watch an older guy where I live hobble out to his truck on two canes every day, he chucks them in the back of his truck then hauls himself along the side to open the door then fall into the drivers seat..

God forbid if you ever stepped out in front of him... no chance !

I think most are questioning the cops reason for the accident, but hey, you read it your why, we will read it our way.

By the way, there is no medical proof of an epileptic asthma attack.
