A tragic road accident claimed the life of a pregnant vendor in Surat Thani, leaving her two children orphaned. The driver, a young woman, lost control of her pickup truck, crashing into the roadside vendor and causing significant property damage. Witnesses claim that following the accident, the driver showed no remorse and didn’t check on the injured, instead, she fled to a nearby lodge.

According to bystanders, the pregnant woman was selling water outside a dormitory near the Surat Thani Rajabhat University. She was struck so hard that she was reportedly thrown a great distance. A member of the soccersuck web board shared the incident, saying that the deceased had two young children and was expecting a third. The account further detailed that the woman died instantly, unaware of the incoming vehicle, reported Khao Sod.

 

In a conversation with a dormitory owner in the area, it was revealed that the sound of the accelerating vehicle was audible, followed by a sharp yelp and then silence. The driver, a young woman, claimed that the accident occurred due to slippery roads caused by rain and a sudden loss of control of the vehicle. However, some witnesses noted that the gear was found in fourth position.

 

The poster further expressed personal frustration towards reckless teenagers, highlighting their irresponsible behaviour. The incident infuriated many, as the driver not only caused the death of a pregnant woman and leaving her two children orphaned but also destroyed the life of an unborn child. The community is now urging the driver to take responsibility for the tragedy. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of reckless driving, particularly among the younger generation.

Should have dragged her back to the scene of the accident and forced her to witness what she had done.

I'd like to see the statistics on this. And "young" doesn't exactly describe an age.

"According to the Department of Disease Control, Ministry of Public Health, the number of road deaths are highest 8n the 15-24 and 50-80 age groups." (my bold).

Jan. 27, 2021 by TDRI, "Retest senior drivers for road safety"

Furthermore,

"Policies must be based on sound and comprehensive information.....Providing an accurate database is the responsibility of the Department of Land Transport."

 

Witnesses state the vehicle was powering at the time, the driver had it in 4 gear, the driver states it was the wet roads, 29 years minimum for killing 4 persons, and I think if is the job of the reporters to follow this and see what penalty is rushed out, for goodness sake this poor mother was selling water to feed her children, sickening.

Sorry kiiling 2 and leaving 2 orphaned. 

Whoever posted the laughing emoji on the original article is one truly sick in the head individual.

 

For fleeing the scene, the pickup driver should be facing a lengthy prison stay.

But the Thai authorities just don't have to balls to punish people like this severely enough.

I could understand. It never rained before there. It must be now caused by climate change. And also..the brakes, the brakes...

I hope she will get a hefty fine and will be locked up some years. But.... we're in Thailand. Everything possible.🥴

leaving her two children orphaned.

So where is the father/s ?

Life is cheap

Hopefully grandparents can look after children but how about money for them?

To be orhaned" The loss of a child's parents"

I don't think I've ever seen a child in Thailand with two normal parents.  The fathers do a runner as soon as the woman tell them.  Looks the same in this case.

where are you? i live in bangkok and all my thai friends are 'normal' parents, they have children and bring them up as my friends back home do.

 

i think your comment says more about you than parents in thailand, you really need to get out and about. as a matter of interest how many thai friends do you have? and how many are not involved in the sex industry?

Agree all my Thai friends and my Thai family have normal relationships it is just like saying everybody who lives in Pattaya is a hooker. I have been to Pattaya many times never been to a bar and have many friends who live a normal life

Your comment seems to be about the same level as always.

 

Abysmally low.

 

It seems as though you must live in a different Thailand to most people.

I totally agree with you, besides not living in Thailand at the moment (me) but travel twice a year and having property in Thailand, he is just a person to ignore.

He is on my ignore list, but I sometimes read his comments, just to see how low he can go.
