It happened around 9:00 a.m. Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to the area near 87th Street and Watertown Plank Road — an entrance to the Medical College grounds.

A 65-year-old man driving a Chevy Tahoe had stopped to get directions and while following another vehicle, struck the pedestrian in the intersection which was marked with four-way stop signs.

Wow, the irony, LEAVE Tbailand, then become a road statistic

As luck would have it...no Americans have ever been killed in a vehicular accident in Thailand...

It's unfortunate...but I"m sure the accident will be handled differently than if it occurred in Thailand...let's see if 150 dollars slipped into a police officer's pocket will make the incident "disappear"...if that doesn't work, I'm sure an apology will do the trick...

RIP

Wow, the guy didn't do a hit and run, oh, sorry I was thinking it was Thailand for a second.

The U.S. Papers would be full if they ran a story about all the Americans being killed in Thailand. Perhaps they should however so people become aware.

Only if the driver was drunk and fled the scene of the accident.

No signs of a struggle, was it suicide?

Seriously? None?

RIP the young lady trying to make a better life. And to you guys who like to joke about someone dying; Grow Up.

This beautiful young woman, with hopes and dreams of a better life, going to medical school in the US, and loses her life to a driver who obviously wasn't paying attention, and

many of you can't do anything but make your stupid idiotic comments. You really make me sick! If you had bothered to look at her Facebook page, and if you were anything but a

washed up old drunk, you might have realized what a sad sad story this is. Shame on you!

Unlike here in Thailand the driver hitting a pedestrian at a cross street with stop signs will be made to pay either via jail,fines,or both and his insurance will pay her family a large sum of money no matter who he is.

Who is a washed up drunk? Is she a Hi-So, should I be in tears? Should reparations be in order?

RIP

In a news item this week on the rankings of death by vehicles per 100.000 people population,Thailand rank second in the world with 43.5 behind Mozambique at 70.5.most of the top 17 that was under Thailand was in Africa and the middle east.One of the things that was pointed out about Thailand was the lack of policing the highways and even the city roads.

I dont know about washed up old drunks but per her bios there is the slight suggestion she would not be the typical expat significant other. RIP. I removed her email even though it is publicly available at the mahidol webpage

RIP to the young lady. Stepping off the kerb has risks around the world. Yes those risks

are lower in western countries but there are inattentive drivers there as well. Condolences

to family and friends. No doubt justice will be meted out but it will not bring her back.

Aww, so sad, way too young and a huge loss to us all, she would've done some great things

Condolences to her family and friends

My condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of the young lady. A tragic end to a promising life.

Please keep your remarks civil.
