Thong Lor Police Station superintendent Pol Colonel Khajornpong Jitpakphum said the number of vehicles damaged had been raised to 41, as it was found that the truck crashed into 31 vehicles causing damage worth Bt2 million in the Thong Lor jurisdiction area as well as 10 other vehicles in the Makkasan precinct’s jurisdiction, causing damage worth Bt500,000. The 27-year-old truck driver, Ekkaphot Yossiri, allegedly under the influence of crystal methamphetamine or “ice”, who was fleeing after crashing into a policeman’s motorcycle on Rajaprarop Road, went on to hit 10 other vehicles and then caused a pile-up of 31 vehicles in a 5-kilometre stretch of Sukhumvit Soi 63.

trogers Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 No money to pay? Just spend time at the Hilton to the equivalent of Bt300 a day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveAustin Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Hang the b*****d! However this plays out, I'd bet my bottom dollar he will be punished less than someone who left some arbitrary post online or 'defamed' someone. pfft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxx Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 However he's punished won't bring much consolation to those with damaged vehicles. The vehicle was only insured for a total liability of 600,000 baht. That's not much per victim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramrod711 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 2 hours ago, webfact said: fleeing after crashing A time honored tradition in Thailand. I think the bus driver that sideswiped a car between Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai, fled the scene with a bus full of passengers while being chased by the car he collided with is the classic example. The bus later collided with another vehicle causing the bus to crash and resulted in many fatalities. Truth be known, there is no cure for stupidity.
