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.

Honestly  how bad can the police get.

Pissed up, accident, then he did a runner. 

[save the frogs]

slap him on the wrist.

[ChrisY1]

Holy cow....just can't believe this!!

[ozz1]

Another fine example of our fantastic police force probably will get a transfer

[thesetat]

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.

A police officer from Wangkhu Police Station has been transferred from his post after he was found to be driving under the influence and crashed a patrol vehicle into a motorcycle with a sidecar, leaving one woman injured.

 

The incident occurred when Pol. Sub-Lt. Saksit Chimanonwit drove an official police vehicle and collided with the motorcycle. A breathalyser test later revealed his blood alcohol level to be exceeding the legal limit. He has since been charged with reckless driving under the influence of alcohol, causing injury and property damage.

 

Following the incident, Chachoengsao Provincial Police Commander Pol. Maj. Gen. Kriengkrai Boonsorn issued a transfer order, removing Pol. Sub-Lt. Saksit from his duties at Wangkhu Police Station. He has been reassigned to the Chachoengsao Provincial Police Operations Centre and is no longer permitted to perform his previous duties while an investigation is underway.

 

Pol. Col. Phuwadon Phisutinoraset, Superintendent of Wangkhu Police Station, along with other senior officers, escorted Pol. Sub-Lt. Saksit to offer an official apology and deliver a goodwill gift basket and an initial compensation payment of 20,000 baht to the victim and her family. Authorities have stated that further compensation discussions will take place after the victim is discharged from hospital. The legal and disciplinary proceedings will proceed in accordance with police regulations.

 

Pol. Sub-Lt. Saksit expressed remorse for his actions and confirmed that he is cooperating fully with the investigation. He also stated his intention to cover all medical expenses and provide ongoing support to the injured woman and her family.

 

Journalists visiting Wangkhu Police Station reported that the officer had already packed his belongings and left the premises following his reassignment. His colleagues described him as someone with generally good rapport among fellow officers and members of the local community, including the victim and her husband.

That’s alright then, slap on the wrist,transferred for a week or two just to let the dust settle, and don’t worry we will enter into the records that a tree jumped out in front of you and your brakes failed but next time miss the bl++dy motorcycle

[spidermike007]

Even the cops are cowards and assume they are not accountable. In the US, police are treated very warmly by the other inmates. They develop alot of "close friendships". Same here? Lock this irresponsible creep up.
