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.

What an idiot, a five year old woldn't believe you hahaha.

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.

Retired police seem to pull quite a nice pension - good on them 😉 

[jippytum]

his excuse is an embarrassing statement that a five year old could do better. 

Reflects the standard of intelligence and lack of  honesty of the top brass in the RTP past and present.

It amazes me how all these police officers both serving and retired  who are not well paid have very expensive cars and nice properties I suppose that’s why the adverts state “ Amazing Thailand “

You have no idea whether that is the case.

[paul1804]

The usual Thai BS and so surprising he just happens to be a retired policeman with a close association to the Red Bull hit & run incident!

His explanation is an indication of his level of intelligence, ethics & morality, maybe the pre schoolers would believe his story!

[Purdey]

So dangerous the media does not dare to name him.

Don't need much of a pension to have a B250/350k Merc.

So you think that it is amazing to be able to afford a, likely, B250k car?

But joe public is not allowed to take that leeway and is required to not move his / her vehicle so that the cops can gather evidence.

Is the "officer" in the OP being given that leeway without consequences?

Perhaps they accuse him because his proper spot to park was in his driveway at home hmm
