Thailand‘s former transport minister Tawee Kraikupt – father of controversial politician Pareena Kraikupt – was concerned in his fourth automotive accident in four years yesterday in Ratchaburi province, sparking concerns that the eighty five year outdated ought to not be behind the wheel. He claims he cannot remember the collision.
A Mercedes Benz driver reported that he was driving along the middle lane of the three-lane Srisuriyawong Road, close to Ratchaburi City Hall, when a white sedan in the left lane abruptly made a right turn and crashed into the rear left facet of the Mercedes.
The victim was unaware that the driving force who hit him was Tawee Kraikupt because the ex-minister did not cease on the scene and drove off. Tawee later informed the police that he was on his approach to the air-con store and was unaware of the collision.
Tawee’s daughter Pareena Kraikupt, former Palang Pracharath MP, already sought lawyers’ help to confiscate her father’s driving license once earlier than after he crashed his car right into a pickup truck in Nakhon Pathom province, central Thailand, last 12 months. Invitation only suggested her to seek out him a driver.
Pareena said…
“I want to ask any nice lawyer about what to do in this case to cease my father from driving a car, as the car just isn’t mine and my father refuses to hearken to me. He refuses to take heed to family members.”
“I am worried. This information could possibly be reported but I want to thank the media right now for not bullying my father as a end result of those that have an outdated father will perceive me.”
Pareena was once on the centre of a scandal that accused her of encroaching on public land at her home in Ratchaburi in central Thailand. The Supreme Court accepted the National Anti-Corruption Commission’s lawsuit against her and suspended her from her duties on national forest reserves.
In 2022, the Supreme Court banned her from politics for life over her land encroachment, that means she shall be ready to by no means run for political workplace or vote in an election for 10 years.
In 2019, Tawee was fined 500 baht for crashing his car into a bike in Ratchaburi, injuring a 17 yr previous boy. Eyewitnesses accused him of trying to drive away from the accident.
In a video posted by rescue staff, Tawee can be seen honking the horn of his Mercedes and attempting to make a U-turn after a rescue automobile blocked him in. One rescuer mentioned he crashed again, into a fence, whereas rescuers were giving first help to the teenage sufferer..g
