A police officer in Chachoengsao province is facing legal action after allegedly driving a patrol vehicle under the influence of alcohol, crashing into a local woman’s motorcycle outside her home, and fleeing the scene.

 

The incident occurred in the evening of 5 May in the village of Ban Tha Thong Dam, Moo 15, Thung Praya subdistrict, Sanam Chai Khet district. According to reports, Pol. Sub-Lt. Sakdisit, deputy inspector of Wang Khu Police Station, was on duty when he collided with a parked Honda motorcycle with a sidecar,  injuring 48-year-old Ms. Sureenipha Jamnork.

 

The crash took place directly in front of the victim’s residence. Residents said the officer drove away without stopping to assist, prompting a flurry of criticism after CCTV footage of the collision circulated online.

 

Pol. Maj. Gen. Kriengkrai Boonsorn, Commander of Chachoengsao Provincial Police, visited the injured woman at Phutthasothon Hospital on 6 May and instructed investigators to handle the case with full transparency. He ordered that all evidence be collected thoroughly and that legal proceedings be initiated against the officer involved.

 

Pol. Col. Phuwadol Phisutniraset, superintendent of Wang Khu Police Station, confirmed that officers arrived at the scene around 20:50 on the night of the crash. By the time they arrived, the injured woman had already been taken to hospital by a Good Samaritan. The scene showed clear signs of a high-impact crash, with the motorcycle overturned and parts of the police vehicle’s grille scattered nearby.

 

 

At approximately 22:30 the same evening, Pol. Sub-Lt. Sakdisit turned himself in at the station. A breathalyser test revealed a blood alcohol content over the legal limit. He was subsequently charged with reckless driving under the influence of alcohol, resulting in damage to property and physical harm to another person.

 

The case has sparked public outcry and calls for accountability, especially given the officer’s failure to render assistance and the fact that he was on duty in a state of intoxication. Authorities have pledged to proceed with legal action to ensure justice is served.

The woman is lucky to be alive. That was a high speed impact to a stationary vehicle with her sitting on it. 

 

Not so hard to believe the cop did a runner. His life was over the minute he hit her. He may even be thinking now to do a runner out of Thailand.  That is, if he is really facing serious charges. i am curious why the OP did not say whether or not he has been detained or posted bail for this. Also, why he is not charged with a more severe crime.
