Not denying the collision happened, but how can anyone allege he was 4 times over the limit, he is suspected of fleeing to Cambodia, but he attended a hospital. 2 hours ago, webfact said: It is alleged that Yamada was four times over the legal alcohol limit at the time of the incident. 2 hours ago, webfact said: The Thai authorities have since issued an arrest warrant for him, suspecting that he has fled across the border to Cambodia. 2 hours ago, webfact said: At the hospital on the night of the crash, he was evidently still very drunk and denied any involvement. I could not believe it. Thai police are actively pursuing the American, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted March 20 Popular Post Share Posted March 20 What is relevant here is that a drunk idiot mowed down a family, caused all kinds of mayhem and then fled from the scene of a crime. Who would do something like that, what is wrong with that person, what kind of a lowlife flees from the scene of a crime after causing grave injury? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post daveAustin Posted March 21 Popular Post Share Posted March 21 What a <deleted> thread. Came back for an update and it’s just a wreck on a wreck of nationalistic rubbish, likely those of ‘that’ generation that don’t do empathy. Should have known to go elsewhere.
