A retired high-ranking Thai police officer was apprehended following a hit-and-run incident involving a motorcycle. He disputes accusations of drink driving, stating that he fled the scene to avoid causing a traffic jam but vows to take full responsibility.

 

On 29th April at 9 PM, police investigators reported an incident where the retired officer, aged 65, collided with a motorcyclist on Rama 4 Road, near Kluaynamthai Hospital in Bangkok.

 

The accident occurred on 27th April at around 11 PM. The vehicle involved, a bronze Mercedes E 240 bearing Bangkok plates, was intercepted by vigilant citizens at the Phra Khanong intersection.

 

 

 

The former officer, once a leading figure in the infamous "Boss Yoovidhya" case, reportedly drove off after the crash, leading to the public's intervention and his subsequent detention for legal proceedings.

 

The injured motorcyclist is currently receiving medical care, and the retired officer has dispatched an aide to manage the victim's needs.

 

Despite denying intoxication, he explained that he chose not to stop at the accident site to prevent severe traffic disruption and intended to find a proper spot to park instead.

Is there a police force in the world whose serving or former members are in the news almost daily for poor behavior?

 

If they're not shooting their colleagues over some perceived slight, then they are drunk driving and road raging.

Was it his home where he stopped?

 

There are so many cases in Thailand of "fleeing the scene" and this should automatically be heavily punished.
