jumps to some conclusions. if the justice system in thailand is to be dealt with perhaps should change this article to - prudent driver departs scene of accident before law enforcemnt arrives - or perhaps it could be recommeneded course of action to take in case of accident

scared driver, sensible driver all sorts of alternatives

The injured 4 year old girl has since had her leg amputated below the knee, sad.

Many times driver leave the scene to save their lives from the angry crowd.

The "runner" was "afraid and frightened".

"Afraid and Frightened" of what ??

Probably only parked up because the motor-bike was under his vehicle.

Run Run Run. Avoid Responsibility.

And this is a Naval Officer.

Disgraceful !!!

What a strange time for this event to take place, "18.00 pm" which I have trouble determining what time is actually meant. Another thing I do not understand is how, "a truck had collided with a motorcycle before fleeing the scene." Never have seen such an action before. A truck leaving the scene of a collision by itself.

The driver is an officer at Sattahip military base - I will find out more..

They run from scenes like this because if the victims involved in an accident are locals and you are not, you could be attacked and seriously injured or killed by a mob of the victims relatives or friends.

Surely the navy "officer" would have seen that the motorbike driver and pillion rider were both women - and one a little girl at that?

Should have rendered assistance - obviously not an officer nor a gentleman.

Good for him. I had my best times in Thailand with my rose glasses. When you taking it off, nothing will be the same as before and the good times are gone.

"was" meaning he no longer is???

true, that is sad. very surprised not to see more deaths and mutilations on these roads.

I hope they'll catch him , a naval officer that should be put in jail .
