Former School Director Faces Charges Following Collision in Saraburi

According to a report by Khaosod Online on September 7, 2026, a former school director in Saraburi province is facing legal scrutiny following a rear-end collision. The incident gained public attention after the victim’s family sought assistance from the 'Saimai Must Survive' group, alleging that the director intentionally struck their vehicle after a verbal dispute. CCTV footage of the incident has been cited as evidence.

The family raised concerns regarding the initial police response, noting that a breathalyzer test was not conducted at the scene due to a reported lack of equipment. Subsequent blood testing, requested by the family, confirmed an alcohol level of 130 mg/dL. The former director has denied intentional wrongdoing, claiming he was tired and failed to maintain a safe distance while merging into traffic. He further stated that he offered to handle the matter through insurance.

For residents and travelers, this case highlights the importance of documenting traffic incidents and the potential for legal complications involving impaired driving. While the accused has reportedly offered a settlement of 100,000 baht, the family has declined, insisting on formal legal proceedings. As of the latest update, the former director has not yet appeared before investigators in person. The investigation remains ongoing, and the final legal consequences for the driver are yet to be determined by the authorities.
