Chok Chai Police Station officers and medical and rescue teams rushed to the road at 12.30am today to investigate the car accident. The road where the accident took place consists of four lanes, allowing vehicles to travel in opposite directions without a traffic island.

 

Upon investigation, officers discovered a dark blue Mini Cooper S with a damaged right front bumper. The driver was identified as 40 year old Paphawin Sayasin, who is a civil engineer in the Department of Highways. He waited for the police officers at the scene.

 

The dead body of the victim, a 26 year old delivery rider named Thanate Singsom, was found in front of the Mini Cooper. He sustained a serious wound to his hip. His motorcycle, a black Yamaha GT 125, lay overturned on the footpath.

 

Paphawin was taken to the police station for further questioning and took an alcohol test. According to MGR Online, Paphawin revealed that he followed the speed limit and was not driving erratically. He added it was raining when the incident occurred.
