snoop1130 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 A Thai pickup driver ran over and killed a motorcycle rider on Chalong Krung Road in the Lat Krabang district of Bangkok. The driver reportedly made a quick escape from an alcohol test at a police checkpoint, resulting in the fatal accident. Lam Pakchee Police Station officers and rescuers were notified about the fatal accident on the Chalong Krung Road bridge at about 11pm on Wednesday, August 23. Officers encountered the shocking sight of a 34 year old man named Worrawit Songrod, lying dead on the bridge with fatal wounds. Nearby the lifeless body was a damaged motorcycle, a white-dark blue Honda Click, bearing the registration number งฉย-593. Another registration plate, 5 กส8513, was found at the scene, providing a clue to the identity of the pickup driver responsible for the incident. From further investigation, the deceased worked as a delivery driver for the Foodland Supermarket Company located near the scene. He was riding his motorcycle back home when the accident occurred. An on-duty officer near a police checkpoint witnessed the accident. The officer revealed that he spotted a white Toyota Hilux Revo crossing the bridge and approaching the checkpoint. However, the pickup was parked and then reversed direction before disappearing.

RichardColeman Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Funny , in the UK 30 years for murder but like 5 for causing death by drink driving. Should be the same in my mind - either that or drunks have an amazing ability to kill people worth less 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post poyai111 Posted August 26, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 26, 2023 Maybe the proof reader should be breath tested too. Try this: "A pickup driver, in an attempt to avoid being breath tested, collided with and killed a motorcyclist" 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And therein lies the problem - the follow up from such incidents is so weak the penalties really do not serve as a significant deterrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
