PHUKET: An entirely sober woman survived slamming her car into the outer gates of the Phuket Provincial Police Station Sunday morning.

Sriwan Saelong, 30, was only slightly injured during the accident.

“Ms Sriwan told us that she had just overtaken a black car at about 2:30am as she was driving down Yaowarat Road. The car she passed then turned right onto Nakhon Road, crashing into the back of her car,” said Lt Col Sakchai Chunyong of the Phuket City Police. “She lost control of the her vehicle and crashed into the wall.”

Ms Sriwan was given a breathalyzer test, which showed a blood alcohol content level of zero, confirmed Col Sakchai.

Police charged Ms Sriwan with reckless driving causing damage to government property.

“We are now hunting for the driver of the other car, which fled the scene,” Col Sakchai said.
