Police in Chonburi are searching for two Chinese nationals after an early morning crash. The pair allegedly drove a luxury Mercedes-Benz through a red light, lost control, and crashed into a street lamp.

 

They subsequently abandoned the vehicle and vanished, leaving bewildered locals questioning their hasty departure.

 

The incident, which took place at 6:23 am on 3rd April 2025, was reported near the Sukhumvit road junction, heading towards Pattaya. The authorities, alerted by the local radio centre, promptly dispatched officers to investigate.

On-site, they found a severely damaged Mercedes-Benz S560e with auction plates scattered in parts across the road, having taken out a central island street light. However, the driver was nowhere to be found.

 

A roadside vendor witnessing the event said she heard a loud crash, then saw two Chinese men emerge from the car. One headed into nearby woods while the other ran across the road, leaving her puzzled about their reasons for fleeing.

 

 

 

CCTV footage confirmed the car ran a red light before skidding and hitting the street lamp. The passengers inspected the damage then fled the scene on foot.

 

Police have documented the incident and have impounded the vehicle as evidence. They are actively seeking the individuals involved to understand their motives for fleeing and to hold them accountable for the damage caused to government property.

..an amazing and very keen sense of observation! This lady ls  a  true detective - better than Sherlock Holmes - as she could determine, just with a glance, the nationality of the occupants fleeing from the crached car!

We shouldn't jump to conclusions, but with all the Chinese people being convicted of illegal activities nowadays, it seemed they had something to hide.

If they don't want the car, I'll have it.

She could probably hear them speaking.  Scientific tests have been able to detect a group of Chinese people speaking to each other on the BTS from Mars.

Expensive mistake. I'm guessing too much liquid intake might have something to do with them running off .

Yes is the answer

I'm always surprised how many wealthy Chinese are here with big cars and how easy it it for them to build amazing houses. And how easy it it to evade police. 

Something they have what many farangs don't 😂

DRUNK!

[PETERTHEEATER]

What are 'auction plates'?

[Ctkong]

Auction plates if I am not mistaken are those car plates with temporary usage once the car is possessed from auctions but not yet registered to drive onto road.

They subsequently abandoned the vehicle and 

vanished

One looking for a restroom in the woods the other one perhaps the driver could be drunk.

It could be one needed a restroom, the other needed a laundry service

Were they carrying any boxes full of paperwork from a certain collapsed building in Bangkok?
