Yes....Somchai the truck driver or Somchai the merc driver...same same....just more comfy driver seat.
You do not run from the scene of an accident if not guilty....simple....and considering reports.....eyewitness....of him being drunk....then you dun have to be a rocket scientist....oh and you would have been in the wrong if it had been you...cos you were drunk.
Guess what....my brother was killed by a drunk driver.....guess what the drunk driver did....he ran away.
Ran or Staggered ?
Sorry to hear about your brother.
Drove actually.

They were doing about 140 kph so judging from the photos I'd suggest there was a big speed difference.
no the merc driver was not breathalysed. No-one was.
It should be for a court to decide blame.
They may now know who the mini driver was but they are afraid he'll disappear (or advised to) if too much is revealed.
No where in Thailand has a safe speed posted at 140 klm per hour. Speeding. Plain and simple.

This is Thailand, not California. However, the concept of Contributory Negligence is a concept in the Thai legal codes. It might be applied here.

Just a thought, but if confronted by a car full of people and you're on your own you might decide discretion is the better part of valor.
I'm sure the OPs relatives are lovely people, but we can't know how they reacted and they did outnumber the Merc driver and shootings and other acts of violence over traffic accidents aren't exactly unknown.
Also, the bottom line is that they hit him from behind. There has to be really clear evidence of extraordinary bad driving by the person in front for it not to be the driver behind's fault, and no evidence has been presented, in this thread at least.

Apparently the CCTV camera that views the road it rotates and actually missed the accident but obviously came back and recorded the aftermath.
It was very dark and the pictures are not very good.

If you run from an accident, regardless of fault, you must be considered guilty.

Yeah maybe back home but not here, I don't there is even a penalty here for leaving/fleeing the scene of an accident.

They only thing I take out of this is don't drive 140kph. You can assign all the blame you want, it probably won't make things better. Insurance covers what it will cover, after that, good luck. Driving is dangerous and suspectible to human error, rich or poor.

I have no idea who is right or wrong but I "HATE" people that drive Mercs. They always think they rule the road and are nearly always ignorant stuck up people. My opinion!

..driver fleeing the scene of a crime.....it should prompt a serious fine and criminal charges......
(epidemic, since there are no consequences to that action....maim, kill, 'just apologize' and 'it's all better'......???)
....the 'saving face'..........in psychology we would call it : denial' or 'delusion'......maybe even 'psychosis'....
(.....what to do about that...???.....also epidemic........
......the worst monsters in society.....they just have to 'wai' or say 'ka/krab' to their parents ( or when 'it matters')....
)and they are considered 'so polite' or well-mannered...
...dreadful.....

You are obviously a very mature person whose opinions are greatly valued by all those who are lucky enough to enter into your presence.

What is the speed limit on Rama 9 bridge?
Where the injured rear seat passengers wearing seat belts?
Not sure about in Thai law but certainly in UK law the rear ended car driver can be charged with driving without due consideration for other road users. e.g. Those following. For instance if they stopped suddenly and unexpectedly at the give way line at a roundabout devoid of any traffic and that has excellent visibility on approach. Or perhaps doing an emergency stop for a baby rabbit crossing the road, knowing they were being followed.
One poster said the good samaritans should have parked immediately behind the accident. Not so unless you happen to be driving a police patrol vehicle which can be lit up like Blackpool immuminations or want your car smashed into as well.

Morning TV news on Ch 3 reports the actual mayhem was caused by a Red Mini Cooper that crashed into some people trying to help the original accident victims. Driver of Mini seems to be an unlicensed 18yo - surprise, surprise!

I would suggest next time he (the nephew) not be so reckless behind the wheel and should stick to the speed limit, every K over is a killer.

What car was your relative driving at 140kmh as a matter of interest?
Had they had a few sherbets as well or was he completely sober at 5am?
