Police Investigate Road Rage Incident Involving Luxury Vehicle
Authorities in Phutthamonthon are pursuing a suspect after a viral video showed a motorcyclist damaging a rare Mercedes-AMG.
According to Khaosod Online, police at the Phutthamonthon Station have issued a summons for a man identified as 'Get' following a road rage incident that went viral. The suspect allegedly harassed a driver, spat on their vehicle, and struck the side mirror of a Mercedes-AMG C43 4MATIC Coupe, causing damage.
The victim has filed a formal complaint, and investigators are currently gathering evidence to proceed with legal action. Reports indicate that the suspect has since set his social media accounts to private and has allegedly threatened legal action against online critics.
This incident has drawn significant attention due to the rarity of the vehicle involved. The car is a special edition model, with only 120 units in Thailand and only 18 in that specific blue color. Experts from V10 Garage, a specialist workshop, noted that while parts for such vehicles are available, repair costs are high. Preliminary estimates suggest that replacing the side mirror, including labor and sensor recalibration, could cost between 70,000 and 100,000 THB.
For residents and travelers, this case highlights the importance of road safety and the potential legal consequences of aggressive driving behavior. It remains to be confirmed what the final repair costs will be once the official service center completes its assessment, and the legal proceedings against the suspect are ongoing.
