Middle-aged man crashes sedan into parked truck in Chon Buri
An incident involving a middle-aged man was reported today, February 6, when he allegedly drove a sedan into the back of a parked pickup truck in Chon Buri.
The crash occurred outside the Oum Rak Animal Hospital on Samed-Angsila Road, Mueang district, Chon Buri province, and left the sedan severely damaged.
The driver, appearing to be in his 50s or 60s, refused to provide his name and seemed intoxicated. He identified himself by the nickname Pong Huaikapi and threatened both police and rescue workers at the scene.
The man claimed connections with high-ranking police, suggesting he could handle the situation and attempted to leave the scene. Residents and rescue workers followed him, during which he continued to issue threats and insults.
Police called for additional support to control the situation and ultimately apprehended him. He was taken for a breathalyser test. However, his light blowing into the device resulted in an inconclusive reading.
Initially, charges were filed for causing damage by colliding with another vehicle. Concerning charges of driving under the influence, he will be taken for a blood test at a hospital, reported KhaoSod.
If he refuses, he will be considered to have been driving under the influence. This will allow the legal process to proceed accordingly.
