Crash Kills Mother and Two Children in Chumphon; Driver Flees

[Georgealbert]

 

 

A car crash on the evening of November 27, claimed the lives of a mother and her two children after their motorcycle was struck by a speeding car. The driver of the car reportedly fled the scene while clutching a cat, leaving rescuers to fight in vain to save the victims.

 

The collision occurred on a railway overpass in Ban Nong Mook, Tak Daet Subdistrict, Mueang Chumphon District. Rescuers from the Chumphon Rescue Foundation arrived to find three severely injured individuals scattered across the scene.

 

The victims were identified as 16-year-old Kritmeth Rattanapha, a high school student, his 14-year-old sister, also a student, and their 52-year-old mother, Yenjit Rattanapha. Despite desperate CPR efforts by rescuers, all three were pronounced dead at the scene.

 

Authorities found the victims’ motorcycle, a Honda Wave 110, heavily damaged, with debris scattered around the area. Around 100 metres away, they discovered a black BMW car with severe damage to the front and rear. Witnesses reported seeing the driver, described as a woman in her late 30s to early 40s, frantically searching for her missing cat before fleeing the scene with the animal.

 

A local resident recounted hearing the crash: “I heard the screech of brakes and a loud bang. When I came out, the BMW driver was shouting for help to find her cat. Once she found it, she picked it up and disappeared into the night.”

 

The victims’ grieving father, Prakrit Rattanapha, shared that his wife had gone to pick up their children after school. She had sent him a photo earlier that evening, showing her waiting for the children, and reassured him she was driving carefully.

 

Police are investigating the incident and have gathered evidence from the scene. They are working to locate and apprehend the BMW driver to face legal action.

Maybe the cat got mad when she didn't go the direction it wanted to? Evil animals, their owners as you can see are similar.

Do you think that I am evil, especially since my wife and I were adopted by a cat.

 

I suspect that your post is nothing but BS.

Find her and jail her on 3 counts of manslaughter.

Most of the time it's bus drivers or truck drivers flee the scene of accidents 

I am sure the police won't take long in locationing the lady driver as have the car involved derails

We obviously don't know the cause of the accident - in another story this week a motorcyclist miraculously survived after drifting across three lanes into to the path of a bus.

 

So, we don't know IF the motorcyclist was at fault or not - we've all seen how carelessly motorcyclists potter about and place themselves in extremely dangerous postions, equally so, we've all seen how careless many drivers are speeding without any regard for the safety of others... 

 

The one thing we do no for sure - the BMW driver is a callous being of subhuman order - caring for a cat more than three dying people alone should be reason for extreme prejudice to be shown by the legal system. 

This should be made public to highlight to everyone what vapid toxic scum this woman is.

It’s sad to see life cheapened so much these days. I hope they find her and make her face what she has done and spends the rest of her life in jail. Pathetic woman. RIP family.

I'm not defending the woman...  But we do not yet know if the motorcyclist simply pulled out infront of the car without looking.

 

The very reason I have a dash-cam is for these exact situations - an accident at some point is inevitable when a motorcyclists just darts out and I (or my wife) is unable to avoid them. 

 

I'm not suggesting this happened - I'm suggesting we have no idea how this accident happened.

 

As poisonous the character of this woman clearly is - it may not be her fault. But leaving the scene in such a heartless manner clearly is.

She'll be on the news soon enough with faux remorse stating she was confused and scared....
