July 10, Authorities responded to a hit-and-run incident today involving a foreign national driving a sedan. The initial collision occurred in Soi Buakhao, and the driver fled the scene.

 

A group of vigilant citizens pursued the fleeing vehicle, eventually catching up with the car. Despite their efforts to get the driver to stop and exit the vehicle, he refused to comply. Consequently, the citizens took matters into their own hands, forcibly removing the foreign driver from his car.

 

The situation escalated, resulting in the foreign national being subjected to mob justice. Local authorities arrived shortly after to intervene and restore order. The driver was taken into custody, and an investigation is ongoing to determine the circumstances of the hit-and-run and subsequent events.

How the hell did the driver get up to a speed that would do that much damage on Soi Buakhao?

Should have said 'the driver was taken to hospital' nothing worth than someone hitting you or you car and run away,

in this instance, mob justice was spot on...
