PHUKET:-- Chalong Police Chief Col Sarawut Chuprasit today announced that the woman who killed a monk walking by the side of the road in a hit-and-run in Chalong early last Saturday morning has tested negative for alcohol at the time of the incident.

 

“The medical examination results showed no alcohol at all,” Col Sarawut told reporters today (July 9), five days after the body of Phra Rungrote Padnguan was found in a roadside ditch not far from Wat Ladthiwanaram (Wat Tai), where he was practicing.

 

Police were called to the scene, on Chao Fa East Rd, near Land & Houses estate, at about 5:30am last Saturday.

Exactly. That's why she waited before turn herself in. This 24 hours 'grace' time allows all the drunks to sober up. That's why they drive off. Don't stop. No penalty. Crazy,

yes I went to police once my hangover wasn't too bad

 

WAT a joke

 

I wonder who she is connected to or how much she emptied from her bank

 

nothing to see here - case closed

Strange, but I read the clock on the camera at 1.05.53 or 5 minutes past one.

Drunk, or on the phone. Or both. Why did she seem to swerve towards the unfortunate monk?

So if she fled the scene how did they test her for alcohol at the time of the incident?

Easy, testing allows an estimate of an alcohol level 11 hours earlier to be made.

It's a shame to disappoint you lot but...

"Ms Yanaphat has been charged with reckless driving causing death or injury and fleeing the crime scene".

Tested positive for texting.....

At least they know she was not falling-down drunk, as she would have been if any alcohol at all was detected.

You make it seem very much as though you wanted her to be drunk and that you're disappointed that she blew clear.

Really? Can you link to some examples of 11-hour old "estimates" like this being used in a court of law?

 

 

oops

No, not without doing a research exercise, if you want some examples do it yourself.

So in other words, you can't, and "an estimate of an alcohol level 11 hours earlier" would have no legal standing.

 

Somebody could be forgiven for thinking that you didn't have any actual knowledge of the "alcohol estimates" that you talk about with such confidence.  ????????????
