Tyre-rifying mishap: Pickup truck reverses over 5 year old, leaves tyre marks on his back

[webfact]

In a distressing incident in the northern province of Chaing Rai, a pickup truck reversed over a five year old boy, leaving tyre marks on the young victim’s back. The incident took place on Monday, July 17, at approximately 4.30pm when 54 year old Aryo Wuimae drove his pickup into Mae Yao Wittaya School premises to pick up his child.

 

Regrettably, little Somchai Muelae, who was waiting for his parents at the school, was innocently playing behind the parked pickup. Unaware of the child’s presence, Aryo accidentally reversed his vehicle, running over Somchai, but fortunately, the young boy miraculously survived the harrowing ordeal. A shocking photo shared on ThaiRath revealed the impact of the accident, showing the massive tyre mark on the victim’s back.

Swift action was taken as the rescue team promptly arrived at the scene and rushed Somchai to the hospital for immediate medical attention. The incident deeply concerns the school’s director, Surin Kahmmano, who reported that there is a strict rule prohibiting vehicles from entering the school premises to prevent such accidents. However, Aryo claimed he was unaware of this rule as it was his first visit to the school.

A moron with a poor excuse. Tell the truth, you were to lazy to park the car outside and walk on the premises.

A crass headline to describe a potentially fatal incident.

Oh how smart the writer must consider themself.

Are their any signs to say that? bollards, chain, gate ? across the entrance. School says it was unforeseen, . Now they will implement measures to prevent it happening again.
