Sattahip District, Chonburi Province: A 35-year-old woman named Miss Sosang filed a complaint with the media and provided CCTV footage to assist in tracking down the driver of a car involved in a hit-and-run incident.

 

The incident occurred late in the evening on May 18 when she was riding her Vespa scooter with a red license plate numbered 9949, heading home, reported Sanook.

 

Upon reaching the accident site on Praphanimit Road, near Mitre Kamon Intersection, a white luxury car, an Aston Martin, collided with her vehicle and caused her to fall.

 

She sustained injuries all over her body and face, while she herself was unaware of provoking the other party or why they had collided, despite riding close to the roadside throughout.

After the collision, there was no stopping or checking for injuries, even though the other party was driving a luxury car worth over 10 million baht. 

 

As a preliminary step, Miss Sosang reported the incident as evidence, and the investigating officers informed her that they would examine the surveillance camera footage to identify the other party's license plate.

 

However, she understands that it may not be easy to track down the other party and proceed with legal action.

Should not be difficult to track an Aston owner down...... unlike many other up market cars that have become common. I left a restaurant on Sukhumvit Sunday and the car park looked like a Mercedes showroom.  

Go get this <deleted>. Driving through after a collision deserves public humiliation and a place in BKK Hilton.

Inexcusable not stopping.

Why ? If they have the license plate number should not be that difficult . Plus , as Jacko observes , white Aston Martins are a lot rarer than a bronze Vios. 

How many white Aston Martins are there in Sattahip, 1 or 2? Should be easy to follow up.

it's just that unfortunately the cameras weren't working at that time.

IF Plod's heart was in this search, the Aston Martin's driver would be arrested within an hour.  They managed to track four jailbreakers over 500 kms + a change of vehicle.  A prominent (AKA rich) local however is another matter.

Add this to the not to be heard of again Bentley driver.

What has the value of the car got to do with anything?

Quite a lot really, can afford compensation, on-going medical care, lose of earnings....a very big fine, unlike someone with a car valued at 100k.

Sattahip= RTN or RTA, go check their first RTP

The police asked me to look for the camera and the registration number myself.

He really does have a license to kill.

It cannot be difficult to find this car, an Aston Martin with red plates, that has minor damage?

All the RTP have to do is some actual work?

Obviously easy to locate such a rare vehicle, however it's the tracking down a responsible other party and proceed with legal action that's tough.

Its common place from every facet of Thailands society... 

... The first response is to avoid ‘blame’ at all accounts... on the roads this generally means escaping wherever possible. 

.. Escaping the scene of an accident, i.e. hit & run is such common places its actually news worthy when this doesn't occur.

Take the  car sell it  and give proceeds to the lady they tried to kill.

If it were myself, or any member of my family, I would not have difficulty tracking down this creep. And he would spend the rest of his life paying for this, in an unbelievably painful, and humiliating fashion. No holds barred. You commit a crime like this, you flee the scene, and all bets are off.

Rambo is that you?

There can't be that many people who own an Aston Martin, a new one with red plates with accident damage would certainly stand out.

All the RTP would need to do is contact Aston Martin dealerships, there cannot be that many,  and find out who has purchased one recently? Then check them out?

Yes that is what they "should" do.

 

I once had a motorbike with red plate crash in the back of my car, and then do a runner. I had the number so went to report it.

 

Police lady at the desk pretended not be able to check to who the plate belonged, but I heard her say Mityon to her colleague.

 

So I went to Mityon myself, and they admitted that it was their plate, but unable to check to who they had given it.

 

1 month later I got a call from the police that they had "found" the owner, and was invited to the police station.

 

There I met the young guy and his father, with the undamaged motorbike. Both bike and driver matched the description, but the father claimed that I made false report, and even attempted to assault me there and then on the parking of the police station
