A foreign student in Chiang Rai has taken to TikTok to seek justice following a devastating car crash. The incident left her injured and another man dead, with the Thai driver allegedly failing to take responsibility. The student involved, La Min Khaing, a second-year undergraduate at Mae Fah Luang University, shared her ordeal in a TikTok video on Sunday, 14 December, hoping to raise awareness and gain support.

 

The accident occurred on 1 December, just outside the university campus. La Min Khaing reported that a Thai driver ran a red light, crashing into a motorcyclist making a U-turn. This impact caused the motorcycle to slide across the road and collide with La Min Khaing's own motorcycle. Tragically, the male motorcyclist died on the scene, while La Min Khaing suffered serious injuries, including a broken wrist and fractured clavicle.

La Min Khaing claims the driver has not taken responsibility, offering no support to her or the deceased man's family. Despite having insurance, the compensation she received hasn't been sufficient to cover her extensive medical costs. Doctors have told her she faces a recovery period exceeding two years, affecting both her physical activities and studies.

 

Her TikTok video attracted attention from Thai netizens who showed support and contacted government agencies on her behalf. She expressed gratitude for the public response in a follow-up video and provided an update. She and the victim’s family are scheduled to meet with the driver at a local police station next week to discuss the incident further, reported The Thaiger.

Poor girl. Hope the police sort something out.

If the girl is correct in that the car was responsible for the accident. Then the police would have him charged with the accident causing death as well as injury. If the police have not formally charged the driver of the car then she is beating a dead drum in making him pay for damages.

If true, Another Thai not manning up and taking resposibility  its a thai trat, to not take resposibilty for there actions Shame !!!

 

It's about time that Thailand looked at responsibilities of drivers and raised insurance to a level that properly compensates 3rd party victims such as in the case. The dead man cannot be compensated, but his family could likely benefit from a claim enabling them to live their lives. It's not up to the driver to take responsibility but the police should be forefront in an investgation and apportion blame, and remedy, where it's due. I hope the young lady makes a full recovery and leads a fulfilled life.

 

Wow speaks Thai and English very well, god bless girl, and good luck, may you fully recover soon....😘
