webfact Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 On a sorrowful Children’s Day, three young sisters were involved in a fatal accident after returning from a late-night event where they had been hoping to win prizes. The incident occurred around 12.30am today when the motorcycle they were riding collided with an electricity pole in Prachin Buri province. The 12 year old older sister, who was driving the motorcycle, succumbed to her injuries, while her two younger siblings were still unconscious. The tragic accident happened after they had attended a National Children’s Day event organised by the Prachin Buri provincial administration. The event, held until late at night at the King Rama V Monument and the provincial administration’s convention hall, featured performances by children and teenagers from various schools under the provincial administration’s jurisdiction. The main attraction, however, was a lottery-like number drawing for various prizes, including 50 bicycles, five OPPO mobile phones, two televisions, 20 fans, and dolls worth 50,000 baht (US$1,432). by Nattapong Westwood Picture courtesy of KhaoSod Full story: The Thaiger 2024-01-15 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Popular Post paulbrow Posted January 15 Popular Post Share Posted January 15 IMO 12-year-olds should not be driving motorcycles, let alone in the middle of the night. And the provincial administrator should also be liable for holding such an event late at night. Parents are just as bad for allowing it all to happen. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all been said above, and apart from that these events normally have cops hanging around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enoon Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 4 hours ago, hotchilli said: At 12:30 am ?????? Are you questioning that the parents should be held responsible? The mother was present and presumably authorised the journey: "The three sisters had attended the event with their mother but during the wait for the prize draw, the 6 year old middle and 2 year old youngest siblings began to quarrel. Consequently, the eldest sister volunteered to take them home, riding from the event late at night with both sisters on the pillion, reported KhaoSod." 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropicalevo Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 This story is just very, very sad. RIP little angel. You were just trying to help mum. Hope that the sisters recover OK. The parents will probably never get over this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to hold the parents responsible I my country the parents would face legal action for child neglect / endangerment. What parent would allow a 12 year old to ride a motor bike...add the extra younger children on the back... and out at midnight!? I bet they were not even told to wear helmets either.
