Distracted Driving Causes Fatal Collision in Lampang

[webfact]

 

A fatal road accident occurred in Lampang today, when a woman dropped her phone while driving. Her attention diverted, she swerved, causing a head-on collision with a sedan. The impact instantly killed the male driver and injured a 19-year-old passenger. The incident took place in the district of Hang Chat, near the Rai Na Ngern market. 

 

Upon arrival, police found a silver Honda sedan with Chai Nat plates. The young passenger with a head injury and several bruises was quickly attended by the Wiang Tal municipal rescue team and taken to Hang Chat Hospital.

 

The sedan's driver, a man between 40 and 45 years old from Chai Nat, was found dead and trapped inside the vehicle. The Lampang Rescue Association was called in to help remove the body.

 

The other vehicle involved was a pickup truck registered in Lampang. The driver, a woman, sustained minor injuries and admitted to retrieving her dropped phone when the accident occurred. 

 

She was taken in by law enforcement for further investigation as the scene continues to be examined. The authorities aim to understand the complete sequence of events leading to the deadly crash and determine appropriate legal action based on their findings. The Wiang Tal municipal rescue team provided emergency support at the crash site.

It sounds like they already know the complete sequence of events.... or are they looking into who's actually who and how rich and how keen to stay out of prison before confirming these 'events'?

She didn't pay attention to the road, traffic and other drivers.

She "thought" her little smart phone woold is more important.

 

Arrest her, prosecute her for manslaughter or murder, and make sure she stays in jail for many years - without phone.

The women driving with a smartphone (most of them do this) should be fined heavily if using it (how can they resist the temptation).

She killed someone, because she "thought" her little phone world is more important. She should go to jail!

Sorry, I didn't know she was driving.

In my country, this is the job of the investigation judge, not the corrupt Thai police.
