Foreigner killed in suspected Hit-and-Run road accident in Central Pattaya

30th September 2012

A foreigner, thought to be of Asian descent, was killed in a suspected hit-and-run road accident in Central Pattaya just after 4.30 on Sunday Morning.

The accident occurred on Pattaya Second Road and resulted in the immediate death of the foreign man, thought to be aged between 35 and 40, who was presumably walking back to his Hotel, according to Police.

At the time of the accident the road conditions were poor as heavy rain created poor visibility and surface water on the tarmac.

The victim appears to have attempted to cross the road and had just left the sidewalk when he was struck by the offending vehicle.

The extent of the victim’s injuries, including multiple broken bones and a skull fracture suggest to investigators this was a high impact collision.

Although the collision itself was not seen, a nearby Security Guard working for a Hotel heard the impact and called the Police.

Police were able to determine the vehicle, which failed to stop, was a Bangkok-licensed Black Toyota Fortuna as the front license plate and Toyota Badge from the front of the vehicle were left behind following the impact.

Police are still trying to identify the victim who was wearing a distinctive 7-Eleven grey T-Shirt as he was carrying no identification documents on him and investigators are now looking for the offending driver who will face prosecution when caught.

Just which part of this is suspected ?
A car ran the guy down, killed him and drove off. For me that makes it an open and shut case of hit and run !

they already know the driver, the car lost its license plate...

perhaps, they wouldnt think that this person would do a hit and run ?

Seriously though, how anyone could just keep driving after hitting a fellow human being is beyond my comprehension.

If they have the lisence plate they should already have the driver?

If you ever have the misfortune of running a Thai over in this country, you will soon realise you should have kept driving as the baying mob rip off your left testicle

Not quite the same interest when its not a Cop in Bangkok???

They know the truck. They have no proof as to who was driving it. Could have been stolen, taken without consent, by friend family etc. I am sure who ever has done a runner will try and concoct a good story!

Por Sod, 4.30am probably never even looked before he stepped into it.
