Woman whose car hit a motorcycle with grandmother, grandson: “It’s okay, they’re not dead”

By THE NATION

 

 

An allegedly “drunk” woman whose car hit a motorcycle carrying a grandmother, 42, and her grandson on Sunday in Sa Kaeo province had only one thing to say: “It’s okay, they are not dead.”

 

The accident between the car and the motorbike occurred near Tha Krabak reservoir in Mueang district. The grandmother and grandchild, both of whom were injured, were helped to their feet by a local rescue team and taken to hospital.

 

A videoclip meanwhile showed the car owner, wet and allegedly drunk, standing beside her car and typing into her smartphone. She is heard in the clip saying: “Why do numerous people gather here? It's okay, they are not dead.”

 

A witness also claimed the woman was drunk and said she was driving too fast at the time of the crash.

 

The child's father said the woman has not yet apologised personally to his family but that she will send someone to negotiate on her behalf and pay the medical expenses. He also said the woman’s sister appeared in hospital to say sorry.

 

The Ban Mai Police Station superintendent said the woman driver has not been charged as police are awaiting test results to see if there was indeed alcohol in her blood. If this is confirmed, she will be charged with drunk and careless driving as well as injuring people and causing damage to their assets.

How on earth are they going to be able to test, when there is no substance in the coconut to make a test out of?

Not been charged awaiting test results?

Breath bag, result on the spot, or is the police superintendent saying, we are waiting see how BIG the envelope will be to make the charges vanish?

500 baht, a quick wai and a phony smile - ALL better.

Typical Thailand, when an accident occurs, if someone die it will an investigation and driver has to pay 500 Baht. If no died no investigation and sometimes someone has to pay 200 Baht.

Translation..........The driver has not been charged as police are checking to see the results of inquiries as to who she is connected too.

If they had evidential breath analyzers at the cop shop there would be no need for blood tests if that is what the suggestion is .. She'd just blow the machine in copshop which then prints out the results .. Giving blood requires at least an experienced nurse or doctor to perform the procedure .. and claret must be stored correctly and analysed quickly for accurate results ..
