Malfunctioning car runs over 7 students, killing one

A schoolgirl was killed and six others injured when a Mercedes-Benz, which reportedly had faulty brakes, ran them over inside the Temrak Suksa School campus in Nonthaburi's Bang Bua Thong district yesterday morning.

Of the seven victims who were taken to Kasemrat Rattanathibet Hospital, Prathom 6 student Anchisa Kesornbua succumbed to her injuries, while two of her classmates were seriously injured.

The driver of the Mercedes, Charn Thaiphadungpong, 57, said that after dropping his nephew off at the school he discovered that his car had problems, so he turned off the engine and put it in neutral so he could push it. In an effort to align the wheels correctly, Charn started the car but allegedly lost control, running into a group of 20 six-graders who were sitting nearby.

Charn, who insists that he does not know how the car ran into the youngsters, has been charged with recklessness causing death and injuries.

Another 11 students who witnessed the accidents fainted from the shock and were taken to hospital as well.
