An incident in Surin Province has left the local community in disbelief after a man driving a car unknowingly carried the body of a pedestrian he had struck on the roof of his vehicle for more than 30 kilometres.

 

According to Pol. Col. Karom Boonsod, Chief of Tha Tum Police Station, the accident occurred earlier in the evening of November 23, at approximately 19:00, the driver, identified as Mr. Teerapat, a resident of That Subdistrict, Rattanaburi District, Surin Province, struck a man who was crossing the road. The impact caused the pedestrian’s body to land on the roof of Mr. Teerapat’s car.

 

Unaware of the situation, Mr. Teerapat continued driving along the road from Chom Phra District to Tha Tum District. Meanwhile, officers from Chom Phra and Tha Tum Police Stations, along with rescue volunteers, coordinated efforts to locate and stop the vehicle after receiving reports from other motorists who noticed blood dripping from the car.

 

Eventually, authorities intercepted the vehicle and detained Mr. Teerapat for questioning. He stated that he had poor visibility while driving and did not realise he had struck someone. He also claimed he was unaware that the victim’s body had landed on the roof of his car until the police stopped him.

 

Witnesses following the car confirmed seeing the body on the roof, prompting them to alert local authorities. The deceased, whose identity remains unknown, is believed to have been a man crossing the road. Police are currently working to identify the victim and notify his family.

No! No! No! how on earth can this statement be correct? how can it be possible to strike a pedestrian with sufficient force to propel this person onto the roof of the vehicle without the driver being aware ? 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
