snoop1130 Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 A tragic accident occurred when a 14 year old boy riding a motorcycle was hit and dragged to his death by a speeding BMW. The driver fled the scene but later turned himself in to the police. At 11.30pm yesterday, Thanom Thongpan, an investigator at Thalang Police Station in Phuket, received a report of the incident on Thepkrasattri Road, outbound at kilometre 27 in Thalang District, Phuket. The accident resulted in a fatality and property damage, prompting an immediate investigation with forensic doctors. The scene on Thepkrasattri Road, outbound from Phuket City on Route 402, revealed the body of 14 year old Pachara lying lifeless near the second and third lanes at the entrance of a petrol station. Nearby, about 50 metres away, a blue BMW with Phang Nga registration was found crashed into a sign and old tyres in front of NTP Motors shop. The driver was not present at the scene. The wreckage of the motorcycle also registered in Phuket, was found about 3 metres in front of the car. Evidence of the collision was found in the second lane near the Krong Cheep U-turn, approximately 100 metres from where the body was discovered. Ekaphong, who was riding another motorcycle with the deceased, recounted the harrowing moments. They were riding two motorcycles inbound on Thepkrasattri Road and intended to make a U-turn at the entrance to Krong Cheep. While making the U-turn, Pachara’s motorcycle stalled in the middle of the road. Ekaphong tried to push the motorcycle to safety but a car coming straight towards them hit Pachara, dragging him along the road. Police documented the scene and took photographs, and the forensic team conducted an autopsy before returning to Thalang Police Station. Later, Saku Police Station reported that the driver of the BMW, identified as 40 year old Phontho had turned himself in. He admitted to being the driver involved in the accident. Police conducted a breathalyser test to measure his blood alcohol content, Ekaphong said. “It was a devastating incident. We were just trying to make a U-turn when suddenly the motorcycle stopped. I couldn’t do anything as the car came towards us.” The investigation continues as police examine all aspects of the accident, including the potential liability of the BMW driver, reported Khaosod.

Popular Post ronster Posted June 6 Popular Post Share Posted June 6 Should be an automatic jail sentence for fleeing the scene of an accident here unless you can prove you went straight to a hospital for treatment and reported what happened there . 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a kid I had to be in bed long before that, but in Thailand kids do whatever they want as parenting is sooo hard. No sympathy from me. 2 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you need tail lights they don't help you see where you are going, and you know where you have come from, also lights cost money to maintain, better to spend it on YaBa or similar. One of our local bike "idiots" has converted his lights to show red at the front and blue at the rear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retarius Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Sorry I am tired of reading such stories. I would blame to kid for stalling in the centre lane; and stupid parent have stupid kids I guess. Speeding Beemer drivers probably aiming to improve the gene pool by killing off the stupid ones. Not too many roadworthy vehicles stall while you are driving them. Why aren't the police all over the parents????? Did the boy have a back light that was operational? You know, to alert the driver of the speeding BMW? Although being fair, the road seems well lit and I guess it is difficult to know if the Beemer rammed him from the rear. Why did he drive into the centre lane when the BMW was coming up so fast....did he even look before he changed lanes? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
