Surin Man Drives Car with Pedestrian’s Body on Roof for Over 30 Km Before Being Stopped

[Georgealbert]

 

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 ? 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Should be going to Specsavers, or Top Charoen, or be permanently BANNED from driving.

Well no not really. Amputation of arms and legs, and eyes put out with a red hot poker would solve the problem. 555

Who is going to pay for bringing him the 30km?

"Him hap to pay!"

 

As for punishment, this is a nasty one, 1,500b.

I believe him when he says he was unaware that the body had landed n his roof, otherwise he would have dragged it off and thrown it in a ditch.

SOP: driving off after an accident; self-denial; then lies.

How did it not just slide of or did he not go round any corners 😳
