In a dramatic road rage incident that could have ended in tragedy, a police officer from The Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau narrowly escaped a collision after a furious truck driver attempted to ram his vehicle along a busy highway.

 

Pol Sub-Lt Supot Kumpee, 55, from the Cyber Crime Division 3, filed a complaint at Mueang Udon Thani Police Station after he was aggressively pursued by a speeding lorry on 5 June. The incident occurred around 12:40 while Supot was travelling from Khon Kaen to Udon Thani to carry out official duties.

 

The altercation reportedly began on Mittraphap Road in the Non Sung Subdistrict, where Supot was driving a government-issued four-door pickup. As traffic was heavy, Supot stated he blocked a large truck that was attempting to overtake, fearing there was not enough room and the truck’s trailer would hit his vehicle and potentially cause a wider collision.

 

The truck driver, enraged by the refusal to give way, then began tailgating Supot at high speed, drawing dangerously close to his rear bumper. As the pursuit reached Ban Chan Intersection, Supot managed to slip through just as the traffic light turned green. He veered left into a side lane, forcing the truck to stop temporarily.

 

But the chase didn’t end there.

 

The lorry resumed its pursuit, following Supot, after he returned to his original route, to the Nong Toom-Nong Yai intersection en route to Nong Bua Lamphu Province. Only after Supot turned off into a residential area in Ban Nong Yai did the truck abandon the chase.

 

Security camera footage from Ban Chan confirms the close pursuit. Investigators have identified the truck as bearing registration number 70-9822 Khon Kaen and belonging to a logistics company based in Ban Pet Subdistrict, Khon Kaen Province.

 

Police are now attempting to contact the company to locate the driver for questioning. If intent to cause harm is established, legal action will follow.

 

Supot, recounting the ordeal, said, “I didn’t allow him to overtake because I feared a collision, not just with me, but potentially with other road users. When he started tailgating and swerving aggressively, I knew I was in danger. I didn’t dare stop and reveal that I was a police officer, as I feared he would ram me on the spot.”

 

“Even as a police officer, I was terrified. My blood pressure went up. He was driving as if he meant to crush me. I’m pressing charges and will see this through.”

My take

 

Aggressive driving by lorry.

Escalation by police pick-up.

Huge retaliatory escalation by lorry.

Police pick-up now wants to de-escalate realising the huge danger but lorry will not comply.
