A drunk driver crashed his sedan into a group of pedestrians and motorcycles in front of Chanthaburi Technical College on Tuesday, May 16. The incident resulted in four injuries including three university students and one woman. One of the victims is in critical condition.

 

The 65 year old drunk driver, Charoon, was captured on CCTV crashing his Honda City sedan into a group of pedestrians who were crossing the road. Fortunately, most of the pedestrians managed to evade the collision, but Charoon’s vehicle directly struck two motorcycles situated in the front. The two riders and one passenger managed to escape the crash but were injured.

 

Charoon did not stop at the scene. He continued driving down the road at a high speed and dragged a motorcycle along the way with him. Suddenly, Charoon crashed into another victim, a female university student, Natharat, who was walking along the road.

 

Charoon neglected to check on the victim and proceeded to drive until his car collided with a parked sedan. A traffic police officer in front of the college quickly followed Charoon and managed to arrest him and take him to a police station for further questioning.

 

According to the police report, Charoon had a high amount of alcohol in his system. The test result showed that he had 285 milligrams of alcohol in his blood which is a lot higher than the legal limit of 50 milligrams in Thailand.

Attempted manslaughter charges should be applied.

Only an animal does this, has an accident then tries to flee the scene causing more injuries.

Put the man animal away for 10 years.
