PHUKET: Police are looking for the driver whose vehicle struck and killed a 67-year-old woman in Phuket Town just after midnight last night.

Police and Kusoldharm Foundation rescue workers were called to the Ruam 2 Bridge on Anuphas Rd at 12:30am (May 12), where they found the body of local resident Ubol Nathip on the road with broken limbs and severe head injury.

“Residents in the area said they heard a loud bang and when they came out to look, they discovered the woman’s body on the road,” said Maj Santi Prakobpran of the Phuket City Police.

“They said she probably tried to cross the road to find cover because it was raining very hard at that time. Her body was taken to Vachira Hospital and her family have been notified,” he added.
