He should have added:

"AS I WAS GLANCING AT MY PHONE"

 

(surprised like many of you I would imagine that he admitted to going too fast LOL!!)

Wichan was distracted by a farang … whilst driving in town at high speed perusing his smart phone. Police are searching for the culprit.

No one was killed, so no ghosts to worry about.  The driver would have fled the scene if he had killed someone.
