[lingyai]

A guy in on Sukumvit in a Mercedes gets annoyed with bus so hits people getting off it, then locks himself in his car.

There were 3 people pinned by the car while he stayed inside it.

Here is the story but it is in Thai, I have not been able to find an English version yet.

He's the autistic son of the owner of the Landmark Hotel. Just hope 'autistic' will not be the new excuse du jour for the 'rebels without a cause'.

FORMER MISS THAILAND'S SON CHARGED

Man rams car into bus passengers, killing one

A son of a former Miss Thailand winner has been charged with murder and attempted murder after he ran over several bus passengers with his car, killing one and injuring a number of others, following a quarrel with the bus driver on Wednesday night. Kanpithak Patchimsawat, 20-year-old son of Sawinee Pakaranang and Kananek Patchimsawat, accused Sathaporn Arunsiri, 37, the driver of bus No 513, of hitting his car while in the Asoke area.

After a brief argument, both left the scene. When the bus stopped at a traffic light at Aree intersection near Sukhumvit Soi 26, Mr Kanpithak left the car to approach the bus driver. The driver then told passengers to leave the bus for another vehicle. Before they could be picked up, Mr Kanpithak got back into his car and rammed it into the waiting passengers. Three people were trapped under the car when it came to a stop. The angry crowd then turned on Mr Kanpithak, assaulting him before police stepped in. He is being treated at Samitivej Hospital.

Would strongly suggest mods modify the thread title to reflect these developments and move to news clipping forum.

The continued story sounds all to familiar to the other moneyed celeb killing a commoner... it's almost a copy of:
