Owner of Porsche involved in fatal accident identified

PATHUM THANI : Police have identified the owner of a white Porsche which slammed into a Lao teenager at such a high speed it cut her body in half and left her torso in the driver's seat.

The distraught mother of Kambai Inthilat, 17, travelled from Laos to try and retrieve her daughter's remains yesterday.

The Porsche Cayman owner, Suppachai Thaksinthaweesap, 58, has contacted Pathum Thani police to ask for postponement of the date that he can bring the driver in, said Pol Lt Col Bancha Meelert who is in charge of the case.

Mr Suppachai told police the driver would surrender to police after he returns from a trip to pay homage to his ancestors during the Cheng Meng festival.

Police said they did not know the relationship between Mr Suppachai and the driver of the Porsche.

The teenager was hit by the Porsche, which has red number plates, while crossing the Pathum Thani-Bang Bua Thong Road on Friday afternoon.

The force of the crash sent the girl's body through the windscreen, with her torso coming to rest on the driver's side. Police said the driver fled 10km from the crash scene before abandoning the car outside a restaurant with the torso still inside.

Witnesses said the driver was a male wearing glasses and a white shirt.

Pol Lt Col Bancha said Pathum Thani police would seek an arrest warrant for the driver if he failed to report to investigators.

The girl's mother, Urai Inthilat, 35, yesterday sought police permission to collect her daughter's body which is being kept at Thammasat Chaloem Phrakiat Hospital.

But police said they could not release the body without an official letter from the Lao embassy. The mother will have to wait until tomorrow when she can ask for a letter from the embassy.

Ms Urai said her daughter had recently travelled from Laos to stay with her aunt in Pathum Thani during the school holidays. Kambai had come to Thailand to help her aunt, Laddawan Soonthawong, 40, run her grilled-meat outlet.

Ms Urai broke into tears when she inspected the Porsche parked at Pathum Thani police station after meeting with Pol Lt Col Bancha.

She said she plans to hold a funeral for her daughter at Sai Noi temple in Nonthaburi's Bang Bua Thong district, before taking her ashes home to Laos.

She is entitled to seek up to 200,000 baht compensation from the owner of the Porsche.

The incident comes three months after a Honda, driven by a 16-year-old girl, crashed into a van killing nine people.

Just another case of the rich Hiso being above the law in Thailand,no doubt the Laos girls family will be paid off ( 200,000 baht ???  Life is so cheap here in Thailand ) and the Police will sweep the paperwork under the carpet.The real shocker for me when I saw this on the Thai news, the the driver drove 10k with the girls upper torso in the passenger seat after coming through the windscreen .What an evil sick **** steamingMad

Horrible story I think, pity on the victim and also think about the driver himself he must have been really in shock and didn't knew what to do, the body was there, he should have stopped but you can't really understand what passed in his mind at the moment.
One thing for sure, he should have stopped and he probably was driving very fast with his sport car, I can't really find any justification for his behaviour but I see these kind of drivers passing IN THE CITY every day, I can't understand how they feel so confident to drive so fast in small soi/streets or even on the main street...just a small mistake of a motorbike or a car can be fatally for both sides.
Drive safety and look at the road.
I think the driver's ability to control the car is getting much smaller if drive over than 100kms/hour.

As we live in Thailand I will give you the average Thais prospective ( my wife ) of this accident .She said to me " when you die ,you die,200k OK ,its when you not die then you have problems,takes a lot of money to take care" :blink:
A local lad from a Chinese family was racing his car a while back and killed to young boys on their way to school,the family paid 100k to each family and driver became a monk for 2 months to contemplate what he had done.No case was ever brought against the driver.....T.I.T  :wacko:

After watching a video off the internet ( far to shocking to post here  :ohmy: )of where the accident took place  and the video's shots of the girls body in and being taken out of the Porsche ,I could understand how the driver could have been in total shock.The accident happened on a very fast section of 2 line motorway with the large grass verge in-between.As most Western members would agree,most Motorways in our homelands are constructed in a way not to let pedestrians onto the motorways. I an not sticking up for the driver and agree with Admin that the driver should have stopped and may well have been speeding  smilenod
Its obvious that the driver has been sent away for a while whist things are sorted out by families and Police involved,in the west an Arrest Warrant would be put out immediately but this is not the case here in Thailand as Hiso criminal always keep their word and will hand themselves in  ::)

Not a party, den Buut;  paying respect to one's ancestors at Ching Ming is a duty in a traditional Chinese family.  That clarified, I agree with all the comments made above.  Hiso Chinese do not treat the lives of ordinary people as of any account;  a Hong Kong example was the young man who hit a policeman at a roadblock and dragged him under the car for a mile or so, killing him of course.  The young man was given 4 years in prison;  his father, Daecon Chu, said, "But it was only a car accident!"

Ching Ming or  Grave-Sweeping Day is observed on April 5.  ( http://www.chcp.org/chingming.html )

I'm sure the Flights and hotel were booked weeks ago  ::) ::)

This has been an embarrassment for the drivers and his family from the start,lies after lies. For the car being stolen,the boy is away for a religious trip ,too I was only going 120k.Yes the lad has handed himself in and apologized to the girls family but only under huge public pressure ,maybe he and his family can start to apologize for all the lies they have told !!!!
