The motorcyclist, 27 year old Juthamat Iamsamang, suffered serious injuries, including a deformed left leg. The pickup driver fled the hit-and-run scene, leaving behind the vehicle’s key and a driver’s license identifying him as 44 year old Adisorn Bunda.

 

The hit-and-run accident happened near Piriya Fresh Market on Lang-Laem Chabang Road. Upon receiving the report, Nong Kham police station coordinated with rescue workers from Pure Yiang Tai Sri Racha to inspect the scene. They found Juthamat with multiple injuries across her body. Her Honda motorcycle had been dragged by the black Nissan Navara, license plate number BT 2350 Uthai Thani, about 70 metres from the impact point.

Pattaya police won't fall for this red herring.

The driver will be sober when they find him hiding at his mothers house.

Nail the animal.

Regardless of blame , it is high time that anyone fleeing the scene following an accident receives a mandatory prison sentence.  New government.....time to finally get tough.

Sadly, enabling people to get away with heinous behavior is ingrained in society to the extent that a sense of entitlement creeps in followed by indignation should impropriety be considered. 

 

I do agree...  'getting firm on those fleeing the scene' probably won't happen, because those in positions of decision making power really don't care and for anyone else, dealing with such issues properly is both too much effort and doesn't earn anyone any extra money.
