Chinese Driver Causes Fatal Head-On Collision in Thailand

Sri Maha Pho:A tragic accident occurred when a Chinese man driving a sedan against traffic for over 200 meters collided head-on with a car driven by a Thai woman, resulting in her death and three injuries.

According to Thai News Agency, the incident was captured by CCTV on Highway 3079 in Prachinburi Province at 300 AM. The footage shows a Toyota Ativ driven by the Chinese man traveling against traffic from the 304 Industrial Estate side before crashing into Ms. Sunita's vehicle. Despite rescue workers' efforts to revive her with CPR for about 30 minutes, Ms. Sunita succumbed to her injuries. A passenger in her car, Ms. Kulapriya, was also injured and taken to the hospital.

The car going against traffic contained two Chinese men who sustained minor injuries. Mr. Yang Hao Ming, a passenger, was among those taken to the hospital. The driver, identified as Mr. Liang, was incoherent and shouting at the scene. Authorities have detained him for further action.

Mr. Liang, who has lived in Thailand for about 10 years and speaks fluent Thai, claimed he could not recall the incident and only knew his friend was still receiving treatment. He expressed remorse and a willingness to apologize to the victim's family.

Police at Sri Maha Phot Police Station are compiling evidence, including CCTV footage, and are awaiting alcohol test results before deciding on charges and legal proceedings.
