Actor QP involved in another fatal incident, raising public outcry
A recent incident involving the well-known Thai actor QP has resurfaced a previous case in which he was accused of causing a serious accident. QP, who recently garnered attention for a jet ski collision that resulted in two fatalities, was previously involved in a car accident that left a woman with fractured ribs.
The woman, who was involved in the earlier incident, shared her story on a popular news page yesterday. She recounted how QP, driving a white Mercedes-Benz, collided with her motorcycle near the Huamark intersection on May 31 last year.
The collision occurred when QP turned into a condominium without signalling, causing the woman to be thrown from her motorcycle and sustain injuries. She was admitted to the hospital with fractured ribs and her motorcycle was severely damaged.
The 31 year old woman revealed that QP initially apologised and offered to pay 5,000 baht for the damages, hoping to resolve the matter quickly. However, complications arose when it was discovered that QP’s driving licence had expired on March 8 and the car was uninsured. The situation escalated when QP refused to sign any documents and denied responsibility, even threatening to involve a lawyer.
Determined to prove her innocence, the woman managed to obtain CCTV footage from Bangkok to support her case. The footage was presented in court, leading to a civil mediation at Phra Khanong Criminal Court, where it was determined that QP was indeed at fault.
QP was ordered to pay 3,500 baht in damages. Despite this ruling, the woman expressed frustration over QP’s lack of an apology and the aggressive stance taken during the legal proceedings.
Reflecting on the recent jet ski incident, the woman expressed her sorrow for the victims and questioned why QP continued to be involved in such incidents.
“It’s heartbreaking to see people losing their lives due to reckless behaviour. When I heard the name and surname, I immediately remembered. It’s him again. Why does it have to be him again?”
In the jet ski accident, QP collided with a long-tail boat, resulting in the deaths of the boat’s driver and a passenger. The incident has sparked significant public outcry and calls for stricter regulations on watercraft operations. QP, visibly emotional, admitted fault and expressed a desire to ordain as a monk to make merit for the deceased, reported Khaosod.
