Popular Post snoop1130 Posted July 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 27, 2023 A Thai pickup truck driver survived a plunge into a roadside ditch in Pattaya with slight injuries this morning, July 27th. Intoxication was believed to be the cause of the accident, according to rescue workers. The victim, Mr. Narongrit Chanton, a 46-year-old native of Sa Kaeo province, eastern Thailand, was rescued by good Samaritans and Sawang Boriboon rescuers, after his pickup truck plunged into a ditch near the Mabprachan Reservoir in Pattaya at 2:00 AM on Thursday. His truck, a bronze Mitsubishi Triton, was partially submerged in the water. After prying open the truck’s door, Narongrit was safely rescued by rescuers with minor injuries. However, the rescuers informed The Pattaya News that they suspected Narongrit might be drunk, as he exhibited signs of intoxication and was unable to speak coherently.

Ralf001 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 "the rescuers informed The Pattaya News that they suspected Narongrit might be drunk, as he exhibited signs of intoxication and was unable to speak coherently." Is that code for "we gave him the option to pay a wedge for a clear breath test" but are awaiting the results of the wallet inspection first ? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
