A crash occurred early morning on December 2, when a 22 year old woman was fatally struck by a car while crossing the bypass road near Bueng Overpass in Chonburi. Police from Mueang Chonburi Police Station are investigating the exact cause of the incident.

 

The collision happened at approximately 06:50, along the inbound lane of the Chonburi Bypass Road toward Pattaya, in Moo 6, Ban Suan Subdistrict, Mueang District. Police and rescue workers from the Trai Tham Foundation rushed to the scene following a report of a fatal incident.

 

Upon arrival, officers found a black Toyota Vios with Bangkok license plates parked at the roadside. The car’s front-left section was damaged, with a shattered windshield stained with blood. Lying lifeless in the middle of the road was Ms. Nutcharee aged 22.

 

The victim’s mother arrived shortly after and collapsed in grief, clutching her daughter’s body and weeping uncontrollably.

 

According to a friend of the deceased, she had driven her motorbike to pick up the victim but was waiting on the opposite side of the road. She reportedly told the victim to run across, but before reaching her, the victim was struck by the car.

 

Mr. Badin 31, the driver of the Toyota Vios, explained that he was driving alongside a truck when the accident occurred. He said he did not see anyone crossing the road and only heard the truck honk its horn. Moments later, his car collided with the victim, leaving him in shock and unable to react in time.

 

Police summoned Mr. Badin for further questioning and are reviewing CCTV footage from the area to determine the sequence of events and proceed with legal action as appropriate.
