A drunk Thai woman was arrested for allegedly injuring two motorbike riders
in a hit-and-run accident despite a confession from an Indian friend.
Ruethairat Nuithawi, 32, was taken into custody following a 4 a.m. police
chase through South Pattaya and Jomtien Beach that ended when she turned
into a dead-end street in Pacific Village.
Passenger Bajit Singh, 27, told police he was driving the Suzuki Swift, but
the two men injured in the accident identified the Pathumthani woman as the
driver.
The incident began at the intersection of Second Road and Soi Marine Plaza,
when Ruethairat allegedly hit a blue Sumo-X motorbike driven by Chuchart
Thipsungnern, 24. He suffered a broken arm and a passenger also was injured.
Both were taken to Banglamung Hospital for treatment.
