webfact Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Hit-and-run driver surrenders and apologises BANGKOK: -- A hit-and-run driver who killed a road sweeper in suburban Bangkok on Sunday morning turned himself in to police at Kanna Yao district police and admitted that he had gulped seven drinks before driving and didn’t realize he had hit the sweeper. The driver, Mr Veerasak Ditathero, also brought the damaged car with blood stain to the police station. During the interrogation which was also attended by Pol Lt-Gen Sanit Mahathavorn, the metropolitan police commissioner, Veerachai said he drove the MG car belonging to his girlfriend to a restaurant in Ram-inthra where he had a dinner and drinks with some friends from about 8.30 pm until about 1.30 am of the next day. He said he had seven drinks of liquor at the restaurant until its closure before leaving for a friend’s house and having more drinks until about 4 am when he left for home in Lam Lookka of Pathum Thani. Veerasak claimed that he drove at a speed about 100 kph and, at one time, momentarily fell asleep during which his car hit a person without his realization.

Honest - fell asleep because he was pissed and didn't realize his car hit and killed someone? So never stopped or checked on the victim or called emergency services?

Selective memory? He know what time he was where, he know the number of drinks he had, he know what speed he carried, and he KNOW that he fell asleep just a split second before hitting a human being, and waking up just after realizing his windshield had been smashed to pieces. But he do not know, or in any way remember that his car hit something. I would say very selective. Owner of a "mini" he will probably not have very big problems.

For one thing he's lying about not knowing he hit the victim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
