Police from Bang Sao Thong Police Station responded with rescuers from the Poh Teck Tung Foundation and a duty doctor from Ramathibodi Chakri Naruebodindra Hospital. A white box-bodied pick-up truck driven by 35-year-old Kritsada was found with front-end damage. Under the vehicle, officers discovered the body of 44-year-old Wichate, her body trapped beneath the rear axle, while 38-year-old Pannipa was found nearby; the couple were husband and wife.

Initial statements from Kritsada claimed he swerved to avoid another motorcycle emerging from a side street, lost control and struck the victims’ motorcycle. He said he panicked and accidentally pressed the accelerator, causing the vehicle to run over them, insisting it was an accident without intent. However, relatives of the female victim arrived and alleged he was her former boyfriend and believed the collision was deliberate, citing a prior incident about two weeks earlier when he allegedly attempted to ram the couple.

Investigators later reviewed CCTV footage from roadside cameras near the scene. At 9.39pm on 23 February 2026, footage showed Kritsada parking with headlights switched off near the entrance to the woman’s accommodation, apparently waiting. At 9.42pm, as the couple rode out of the soi, the truck’s headlights were switched on and it accelerated after them, with another camera angle capturing the moment the truck struck the motorcycle from behind.

A witness, 40-year-old Jakkrit, told police the truck did not appear to be travelling at high speed but seemed to run over the couple more than once. He said he saw the female victim still moving before the driver got out, looked under the vehicle, returned to the cab and attempted to reverse, but could not move because the body was trapped under the vehicle. Another local resident, 39-year-old Penporn, said the driver briefly embraced the female victim’s body and asked the witness to call officials before walking away.

Police said no alcohol was found in the driver’s bloodstream but drugs were detected. He has been charged with driving under the influence of drugs and reckless driving causing death, while investigators continue gathering CCTV evidence and have indicated further charges, including murder, may follow if intent is established. Kritsada remains in custody at Bang Sao Thong Police Station pending further legal proceedings.

Key Takeaways

• CCTV footage shows the suspect parking with headlights off before pursuing the victims.

• The driver tested negative for alcohol but positive for drugs and denies intent.

• Police are considering additional charges, including murder, pending further evidence.

From what’s being reported, this doesn’t look like some tragic “accident” at all.

CCTV shows him parked with the lights off near her place, waiting. Then the couple leave on the motorcycle, he turns his headlights on, pulls out, follows and apparently rams them from behind. That’s not random, that’s targeted.

And if that's not enough, add the eyewitness accounts and the alleged prior issues between them, and it’s hard to see how this can be spun as loss of control.

If the footage clearly shows deliberate positioning, pursuit and impact, then that points toward intent, not recklessness. Two people known to him are dead. That’s about as far from a traffic mishap as you can get.
