rooster59 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 High school student dies after being hit by motorcycle on Zebra Crossing outside school Image: Daily News A M4 high school student who was in a coma after being hit by a motorcycle on a Zebra Crossing outside her school in Nakorn Pathm has succumbed to her injuries. A tearful mother told Daily News that Hataiphat Tantasirin, known as Baimon, had died yesterday afternoon. Mother Hareuthai had earlier gone on Channel 3 national TV's "Hone Krasae" program to talk about the case. A motorcyclist had gone through a red light and hit her daughter as she was crossing the road outside Withayalai Naksin school. The rider refused to take responsibility for her care. The motorcyclist had blamed Baimon for not paying attention as she was chatting on her phone. Hareuthai now said there would be no time for an interview - she was preparing for her teen daughter's cremation.

z42 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 So if he went through a red light, he should be MADE to take responsibility. What are these useless plebs in brown for exactly.

rkidlad Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Very sad story, and this rider’s attitude really epitomizes the attitude of many riders and drivers here. When I’m driving here, I’m always consious of pedestrians around me. It was how I was taught to drive. I’m the one in this big machine so I have to be super careful. Unfortunately, the attitude here for many drivers is, “I have a vehicle - get out the way!”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexlowe Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 It doesn't appear to be a zebra crossing, rather a pedestrian traffic light. Whatever, the motorcycle rider (there is no mention of his speed, but he must have been going quite fast at point of impact) is in the wrong. He deserves no leniency.

But it sure as hell wasn't the riders fault. Sickening and par for the course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geriatrickid Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 No mention of whether or not the deceased donated her organs. Perhaps not the appropriate time, but Thailand has a serious shortage of organ donors. Today, hundreds of children are in need of an organ donation and will die without it. One donor can literally save the lives of many kids. The media should mention that one can give the gift of life whenever they report these tragedies. Saving another life can bring some semblance of peace to the grieving family as their loved one will still help others, even in death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onlycw Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 How many people die on the roads because of some %§$%§$ wanting to "save" a few seconds?!? HE ran a red light - that's murder, JMHO. Hope the biker will do serious time as this is certainly not"an accident". ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is 'Causing Death by Dangerous Driving' but in most countries would carry a hefty custodial sentence. However; this is Thailand, a so called Tolerant Society, so tolerant that it lets scumbags like this pay money, give a few Wai's and walk away from facing up to responsibility....shameful. RIP the Young Lady whose life had barely begun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shady86 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Crossing roads are dangerous. Bikes don't stop at zebra crossing with traffic lights and most pedestrians are lazy to walk over to the nearest pedestrian bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cake Monster Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 This Motorcycle guy must be some kind of reprobate to kill a young girl ( whether by accident or not ) and assume the kind of attitude he has taken. I hope the rest of his life is really bad. RIP the young girl, and condolences to her family and friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james.d Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 There is a school crossing with lights at the end of my soi. I never see any motorcycle stop, they all swerve around the school children and adults crossing. Absolute (deleted) a-holes. I hope this guy gets his comeuppance soon and painfully.

I've never understood why cyclists believe that traffic laws don't apply to them, but then complain about the way they are 'threatened' by other road users.

It has everything to do with Me First. Actually joining the dots between going through a red light or not stopping at a crossing and the possibility of someone being killed as a result is far too difficult for the average Thai to do.

Graemej100 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Haha. Is that what a Zebra Crossing is for? Pedestrians to be able to walk safely. And are you meant to stop at red lights? Wow. Rest In Peace little girl. Maybe your death will make a difference to the way the traffic laws are enforced in Thailand..........but, alas. I don't think so.

RotBenz8888 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Many accidents has occurred at a zebra crossing by my kids school. So now there is policeman on that zebra crossing the whole day, but it doesn't seem help, the motorbikes are just like a bee swarm, beyond control. I asked why there isn't any pedestrian bridge, i was told that the street isn't wide enough??? Idiot rules more important than lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
