A 17 year old boy was taking his 54 year old father to Ban Na hospital for a physiotherapy appointment. 

 

But Thammarat drove into a signpost. He survived with serious injuries. 

 

His father Prathin died at the scene. 

 

Ban Na police and rescue services found a pick-up with its front smashed at the scene opposite a PT gas station on the way to the hospital.

Understand that in Thailand, the legal age to obtain a Driving License is 18 years old. So, obviously the kids do not have a License and kill the father. Sad case.

The message here is don't drive into things it can be fatal ????Rip

And will the son be charged with reckless driving causing death....I doubt it

Live or die by the decisions we make, this was a bad one.
