But she put the car into reverse to flee the scene.

And then chickened out and stopped when a bystander tried to open her door.

She possibly had a stroke AFTER the fact.
No she didn't, read the fucking article before you spout shit.

"The driver had an acute stroke while on the wheel and lost control of herself," said acting Bangkok police chief Pol Lt Gen Sanit Mahataworn said on Saturday.

"Her daughter, who was with her in the car, told us her mother suddenly had a seizure and lost control of the car before it hit the shrine," he said.

"The closed-circuit camera footage showed the car was in reverse gear after the hit. But that's because the daughter was pulling the gear lever or the impact could have been much greater," the police general explained.

"This was not a terrorist or deliberate act to hurt anyone. It's an accident," he added.
I'm no car expert, but is that even possible, to change from forward to reverse "to slow the car down", and it stops, then reverses, then stops again, all by the passenger pulling on the lever while mum apparently still has her foot on the accelerator?

You know as well as I do that police generals come out with crazy excuses and should not be believed.

Not to mention that the passenger needed to depress the button on the lever. She's pretty damn good to have reacted so quickly.
