Sanook reported on an accident on Route 3051, the Bang Or to Ban Na Road in Nakhon Nayok province in central Thailand. 

 

A 17 year old boy was taking his 54 year old father to Ban Na hospital for a physiotherapy appointment. 

 

But Thammarat drove into a signpost. He survived with serious injuries. 

 

His father Prathin died at the scene. 

 

Ban Na police and rescue services found a pick-up with its front smashed at the scene opposite a PT gas station on the way to the hospital.

Understand that in Thailand, the legal age to obtain a Driving License is 18 years old. So, obviously the kids do not have a License and kill the father. Sad case.

Live or die by the decisions we make, this was a bad one.
