rooster59 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Dead girl asked to stop for selfie beside expressway By The Nation A man is in police custody after his luxury car hit and killed a 16-year old girl posing for a selfie shot on the side of an expressway in Pathum Thani province early Sunday. The victim’s friends told police that the girl asked to stop for photos on their way home. The accident took place shortly before 3am. Car driver Bodin Pattaranupha, 28, said he was on his way home and could not see that the girl was out on the side of the expressway.

Meljames Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Some countries have laws about stopping on an expressway. I guess isn't one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonmoon Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 RIP to the dead girl but stopping for selfie on the side of expressway <deleted>? Her friends didnt have the common sense to stop her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Triangle Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Happened again just the other week if I remember rightly, only that time a minivan stopped and a Beemer driver hit the van which threw the van driver in the drink, can't remember if anyone else was killed or injured. They really are idiots all of them, can you imagine stopping on the QE 11 Bridge or the bridge over the River Severn or the Forth Road bridge to take a selfie or a picture, you'd be nicked in minutes, chuffing bunch of numb nuts.

roo860 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Headline was a tad confusing. I thought for a moment that Thailand was now the hub for raising the dead. Sent from my SM-G920F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True that. I was thinking about the diver that hit her. The article says the police took him in 'for further legal action'. Sounds like there's a chance he could be held liable for the accident. Doesn't sound like he had time to stop. Edited July 16, 2017 by Meljames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame she didn't point it in the direction that the poor bugger who hit her was coming from - he may well of avoided hitting her. Talk about stupid, but guess at 16 lacking any real education from home on the dangers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if a person is in the wrong (let us say, standing in the middle of a highway at night), the driver has to convince the police that he was diligent in his driving, he could not avoid hitting the person. Does not automatically give him freedom to walk away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on his position on the road...and hers ,of course. Was he traveling at speed and overtaking on the verge/ in the emergency lane. She didn't deserve to die because just because she made a dumb choice. My money's on the hiso Merc driver hurtling along like a lunatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

55Jay Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. But.... I can remember several things I did in my invincible, younger years that should have done me in. I just got lucky. This young girl, wrong place, wrong time, all the holes in the swiss cheese lined up. Happens 1,000s of times a day all over the world.

ratcatcher Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 (edited) A few facts drawn from the report and photo.. 1.The accident happened on an expressway in Pathum Thani at 3.a.m., so light traffic at that time.. 2. The driver of the car that hit her was taken to Sam Khok Police Station. 3. The only expressway near Sam Khok is the Hwy #9 Western Outer Ring Rd. 4. The rescue team is working at an off Ramp on the highway. 5.There is an emergency stopping hard shoulder on both sides of the highway. If the car she had been riding in had stopped on this lane, why did Mr Bodin hit her? Was she standing in the left lane or the emergency stopping lane? Was he paying attention to the road ahead of him? What lane was he in when he struck her? (sorry, just had a bit of spare time on my hands) RIP to the deceased girl too.

tryasimight Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Little off topic but I recently saw an article about a (Russian?) girl posting selfies or maybe video as she and her girlfriend slammed into a tree or some other immoveable object ...live. Very sad but that is the world we live in today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer90210 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Naturally RIP to the girl... Was it necressary in the article to put "in his luxury car?" What does it have to do with the death of the reckless girl? A durian delivery truck would have hit and killed her the same.... What are some "journalists" trying to do to this country? are you trying to set up the rich against the poor? Or, the locals against the farangs? I don't know who wrote the article, but he/she sure seems to have a problem with other people's riches..the word is called jealousy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
