Pictures from responders.

 

A Canadian man was apprehended by police in Phuket following a dramatic car chase that caused multiple crashes and spanned two districts. The suspect, identified as 34-year-old Mr. Samuel Lee Jackson, was taken into custody along with his companion, Mr. Jared Liam Wong, also 34.

 

The incident began at approximately 16:45 when officers from Patong Police Station responded to reports of a violent altercation in front of the Patong Condotel Hotel. Mr. Jackson, who was allegedly attacked and injured during the dispute, fled the scene in a black Ford pickup truck in an attempt to evade further confrontation and the police.

 

Driving recklessly, Mr. Jackson headed towards Karon district, colliding with several vehicles along the way. Police patrol units from Patong gave chase and coordinated with Karon Police to establish roadblocks. At around 17:10, officers successfully intercepted the vehicle near the Big C store on Patak Road in Karon.

 

Mr. Jackson was transported to Patong Hospital for treatment of his injuries, while Mr. Wong, the passenger, was detained for questioning. The pickup truck, which sustained damage, was impounded and taken to the Karon Police Station for inspection. Authorities are investigating whether any illegal items were concealed in the vehicle.

 

Police are also reviewing CCTV footage to ascertain the full circumstances surrounding the incident. All vehicles involved in the chase and collisions have been impounded as evidence.

 

The authorities have not disclosed further information about Mr. Jackson’s attackers or the nature of the altercation that led to the pursuit. Investigations are ongoing.

Quite puzzling.

If he was really the genuine  assault victim, why fled from cops as well?

He was supposed to be glad to see them for help instead.

It suggests he might have been doing something illicit...

You can buy anything for a price. There are plenty of showrooms here with high priced trucks. The real question is why would anyone here want one? Vanity? To impress people as to your status? All of the above? All of the above? Well, I'm impressed, how about you guys?

Canadian AKA American lite. Americans are carnally in love with SUVs along with their guns. No offense to Americans here, we're the good guys who escaped.

Canadians used to be among the better behaved people when abroad. A few recent incidents in Thailand indicate that may no longer be the case.

Mr Jackson was filming a movie. Just a misunderstanding.

He probably is on a holding cell right now, or at least until he sobered up.

Very rare we see the Canadians behaving badly - freed up the Brits, Yanks and Indians for a day of posting 😉
Not mentioned if there was alcohol involved or not but I bet my Ford pickup on it there was!

My Australian friend had a F150 for pulling his horse carriage in Australia. I think it was right hand drive RHD version . I may be mistaken of course.
