A terrible accident took place around 3am today, where a speeding car collided at high speed with a motorbike and a bicycle, leading to a fatality. The car driver, found with a high blood alcohol concentration, was arrested by the local police.

 

An alarming sequence of collisions occurred in the heart of Mak Khasan district, Bangkok, at an intersection on Phra Ram 9 road. A high-speed car crashed into a motorbike, singling extreme reckless behaviour, after which it dramatically hit a cyclist, leading to a fatal consequence. This crucial report was made by Phaisan Sutthapoj, Deputy Inquiry Officer of Mak Khasan station.

 

The car involved in this horrifying incident, a black Honda Civic, was found wrecked at the intersection after hitting the cycling victim. The driver, a 33 year old woman named Pattra (surname withheld), was in the car and was pointed out by a 20 year old man, Natthapong (surname withheld), who was the motorbike driver earlier hit by Patra’s car, reported KhaoSod.

According to Natthapong, he was riding on the side of Ram Intra Expressway towards a friend’s restaurant in Ratchada when the black Honda Civic, which appeared to be driven by a possibly intoxicated person, overtook and hit him from behind, causing him minor injuries. After recomposing himself, he followed the car which subsequently collided with a cyclist near a bridge crossing a large canal, causing the victim’s death. The car then fled the scene and was caught by a red light signal, where he seized the opportunity to call the police.

Well, detention center for a Thai?

I think an ordinary stay at Klong Prem would be good enough.

From the wiki:

Quote

Within the perimeter of the compound are the Women's Central Prison, often referred to as "Lat Yao" or "Lat Yao women's prison". There is the Central Correction Institution for Drug Addicts (also known as "Bambat Phiset")

Drug addict seems to fit for her.

"Phiset" = special ????

Fleeing the scene after causing a fatality while drunk.  

 

Despicable creature.

Her punishment will depend on how good looking she is and how well she puts out. 
Thailand needs the Wagner Group to enforce traffic laws. Driving around in armored personnel cars with AK47s shooting at anyone breaking the law. Thais need this kind of “stick” to change behavior. Police have failed.
