A tragic incident ruined Thursday night in Pattaya Beach when a woman who had been shining a light over the tranquil beachside city was tragically killed by an unidentified pickup truck. When 23-year-old Songkran Phadunglom was killed in a hit-and-run accident that occurred in plain view on Pattaya’s Soi Thung Klom Tan Man 10, the bustling city was shocked.
As Songkran Phadunglom was discovered laying near the entrance of the city’s busy roadway about 11 p.m., Sawang Boriboon rescuers had little reason for optimism. Her neck injuries were so severe that they were irreparable, and she tragically passed away at the scene of the accident.
Kotchakorn Ngao-ngam, an onlooker who initially informed the rescue squad, recalled that the woman “looked peaceful, oblivious to what might be heading her way.” “I saw a black pickup truck with lowered suspension that appeared to have been modified for racing. The vehicle drove into a nearby power post and took off without stopping before I had time to grasp what was happening.
Kotchakorn’s attention was drawn back to the motionless man laying on the road as the truck accelerated away. A motorcycle that had rolled over next to her served as a somber reminder of the terrible disaster that had occurred. I cried out to everyone close. Kotchakorn says with sorrow and regret in her eyes, “To chase the vehicle, anything to bring the driver to justice. However, despite all efforts, the offender evaded capture.
As Songkran Phadunglom’s body was taken away by the rescue team, a wave of mournful quiet descended upon the city, the lights of Banglamung Hospital in the distance signifying the end of a life that had only been partially lived.
As the Pattaya City police take the case in charge, there appears to be some hope for justice. They intend to put together the puzzle that will ultimately point them to the motorist who caused the fatal tragedy through a thorough analysis of the city’s CCTV tapes, according to The Pattaya News.
