UDON THANI: -- While attempting to flee a minor car accident he caused, an Australian expat crashed his pickup truck into a motorcycle and killed two riders yesterday in Udon Thani.

 

The 55-year-old foreigner, only identified as Jack, told police he felt drowsy after taking some medication, and therefore grazed a taxi and public bus outside Central shopping mall.

 

In a panic, the foreigner tried to flee the scene and was chased by police. Unexpectedly, he got into another accident, this time crashing into a motorbike carrying three passengers at a curve on the road leading to the city shrine, Sanook reported.

Just shows you how something minor can turn into something catastrophic. What meds was he on?  did they blood test him?  Either way he is toast

 

RiP those innocent who have lost their lives because of thoroughly stupid decisions by this idiot.

I will be in for it when 'er indoors comes home , up to now she says I am a good driver but after she sees this on the news tonight my ratings will go way down. 

A troll post and a reply have been removed. 

I hope so.

I don't think this is correct reporting. My friend who lives very near there and whose brother is a Policeman in Udon said that he was fleeing, perhaps from the initial crash, and this road is very small, certainly not a road to speed down. She said the Police shot his tires out, and maybe this is when he crashed. Also she was told he was drunk.. she sent me some photos, not with his face blotted out, but for the life of me can't find them at the moment. She also said that the two in hospital had died.. I wonder if the real story will come out ? Who knows ?

Kinda like when a Thai does it people here judge all Thai drivers, ain't it?

 

Fleeing the scene is often the correct thing to do but not when the police are there! 

  Would  a  Thai have stopped ,  after  a minor trafic incident . nope

  Would  a farlang  have stopped , after a minor trafic incident ,unlikely .

     Would you have stopped ? 

 

    Three up and no helmets . RIP.

     

     

Vehicular manslaughter x 3. Are you suggesting perhaps slapping a restriction on his drivers license or attending a drivers education class?

He killed the woman didn't he. How do you make that 3?

He will need a very very large amount of money. What was he thinking? He's really in for it. 

Crazy how your life and the lives of others around you can literally change forever or end totally with the split second choice you may make. In these types of situations, it is a matter of not thinking and letting your emotions / ego take over and put you into auto pilot. This is why mental awareness and mindfulness is such a powerful thing to cultivate 

His mental illness will not in future be treated at a clinic but in the Bangkok Hilton. Good luck moron!

Where did I say Thais were perfect? I agree with the sentiment that if it were a Thai that had committed this crime the hang em high brigade would be well and truly out in force. The Aussie is a goose and deserves to be locked up for a very long time. Get over yourself mate im not trolling I agree with what Peterw42 has to say. 

How could you expect the hang em high brigade agreed with you Pffff

not to own to a minor accident and be done with it....

Too true and unfortunately this guy isn't the only one. As I mentioned on another thread, two foreigners where I live also show a disregard for the traffic laws. R.I.P. to the lady and condolences to her family. I truly hope the children involved recover although it seems that will be unlikely given the nature of the injuries mentioned in the post.

Further cowardice to pullout  the mental affliction card, if it's so, why was he driving? Most likely coming from Soi Sampan, the centre for those with an alcohol affliction in Udon.

A minor scrape and does a runner!

Then nearly wipes out an entire family.

 

I wouldn't like to be in this guys shoes, that's for sure.

He deserves every punishment that comes his way.

OMG. the B*^^*^*d hope he goes down for life. Going to have a meal. RIP to the poor inocent lady. Hope the 2 boys recover with no long term problems.

 

So I guess that you are all sure that if you were mentally sick it couldn't happen to you ? As you couldn't have killed a cop in an accident if you were a billionaire driving a ferrari ?

 

You are all so perfect guys !

 

Fortunately I am smart enough to imagine that anything could happen and not blame anybody in this situation. Not you most it seems.

And no recognition of the statement concerning mental issues? Jeeez...

 

This is not an accurate story. I have other photos, some quite distressing so I have not uploaded them. I was advised that the two children (6 and 9) in hospital had died and if you saw the other photos, then you would not be surprised. My friend who lives near there and whose brother is a Policeman in Udon said the Police shot the tires out, and were adamant that he was drunk.. this road is a very small road, and not the way to Central.

Helmet is no great help for a broken neck.

What a mess he's got himself into. I bet he's hoping it's just a bad dream and wakes up and everything is all good

Thanks for sharing this info and if correct about kids RIP and yes this new data certainly is very different and brings into question the use of force taken and the disregard for the consequences of such force which may have contributed to the collision.
