Rimmer Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Teen girl killed in Najomtien hit-and-run PATTAYA:--A teenage girl was killed and another 16-year-old injured when their motorbike was smashed into by a passing car. The unidentified victims had turned their Honda Scoopy onto Huay Yai Road from Jomtien Second Road on March 2 when a Ford Feta tried to overtake the motorbike, but hit it as it was trying to pass. The 16-year-old girl died at the scene while the other 16-year-old was taken to a nearby hospital with severe injuries. The Ford driver, meanwhile, left his mangled car at the scene and fled on foot. -- PATTAYA MAIL 2019-08-03-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seasia Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 That car must have been doing some speed to end up in a mess like that. Shame to hear another young life lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard_smith237 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 If impact with a scooter caused that much damage to the front of the car it must have been being driven not just very quickly but with excessive speed. Looking at the size of the road and the damage to the car - this is Manslaughter. That the driver fled the scene implies drugs or booze (or both). Its high time fleeing the scene be made illegal here and anyone who does is automatically charged the maximum sentence for fleeing (equivalent to DUI).

Quack Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 What an absolute coward, driving like a madman then kills a child and runs away from the scene. Hopefully he'll get many years in jail, but somehow i doubt it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be an automatic jail sentence when (if) they are caught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sawadee1947 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I don't know the area, but turning from a side road into a main road is mostly risky for bikes. They don't care about any traffic and get into your lane easily. Maybe this attitude caused the accident Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this attitude caused the accident When you drive in Thailand, and places like that, you learn that bikes can appear from nowhere, so you drive slowly and keep alert, if you are sensible. If you are not you drive at high speed and increase considerably the probability that you will kill someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A1Str8 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Driver fled on foot. Wow. I think, soon thai netizens(netizen, lol) are going to have a field day on this. Saying things like, oh yeah, thats true thainess. On a side note, how did a scoopy manage to bang up that car so bad? Thats untold damage. Last time i have seen anything like that was when i closed the hood of my car after an argument with my girlfriend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balo Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 The driver is a murderer and must be locked up for 20 years. Unfortunately this is Thailand so I suspect a fine and paying 20k to the family will settle it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
