A fatal accident occurred, claiming the life of a 22 year old woman who was hit by a car driven by a Chinese entrepreneur while attempting to cross Rama 2 Road. Her distraught boyfriend, who reported that she usually never crossed the road because her home and workplace were on the same side, was left in tears at the scene.

 

At the incident’s location, authorities encountered a weeping 40 year old man standing next to the victim’s body. Nearby, a damaged white Toyota Fortuner with red plates was parked, its front side wrecked.

 

The Chinese businessperson, 47 years old, who was driving the car, stated that he was heading back to Samut Songkhram from a relaxing trip in Phetchaburi Province when the victim suddenly dashed across the road. Even though he tried to dodge and brake, he was unable to avoid the fatal accident.

My question too. Can hardly be two separate killings.

And who can not differentiate between a Ferrari and a Fortuner?

Thai news obsessed with Ferrari killers?

Since when does the Rama 2 road have pedestrian crossings? Last time I drove down south  it was a freeway.

A financial exchange no doubt.

Numerous highway elevated pedestrian crossings at major points such as hospitals, shopping centers, government buildings,  etc. but no roadway surface crossings. Crossing Rama 2 means crossing something like six highway and four frontage roads. Not to mention highway center areas where new elevated highway construction would block any surface crossing.

I will wait for the result of the autopsy.

Plus the full police  report which will probably  not make the news.

Rama  2 is not the type of road to try to just run across.  If that is what actually happened. 
Nevertheless.  A young person lost her life.  May she RIP
