Daughter Seeks Justice After Alleged Drunk Driving Incident in Saraburi
A woman is seeking intervention from the 'Saimai Tong Rod' organization after a former school director allegedly crashed into her parents' vehicle while intoxicated.
On September 6, 2026, a 44-year-old woman identified as 'Aor' sought assistance from the Saimai Tong Rod organization regarding a traffic incident involving her elderly parents. According to reports from Khaosod Online, the incident occurred on August 15, 2026, at an intersection in Nong Pla Mo, Saraburi province.
Aor alleges that a former school director rear-ended her parents' vehicle. She claims that when she arrived at the scene, the driver appeared intoxicated and refused to exit his vehicle. Following a verbal dispute, the driver allegedly struck her parents' car a second time. Subsequent testing reportedly showed the driver had a blood alcohol level of 130 milligrams percent.
The daughter has expressed frustration with the local police handling of the case, alleging that officers suggested the matter be dropped due to the driver's connections. She is now calling for a transparent and impartial investigation into the incident.
For residents and travelers, this case highlights the importance of documenting traffic accidents thoroughly, including the use of dashcams, which provided evidence in this instance. While the daughter has presented her account and evidence to the Saimai Tong Rod group, the official police response and the final legal status of the case remain to be confirmed. Authorities have not yet issued a formal statement regarding the allegations of police misconduct or the pending charges against the former school director.
