Caught Red-Handed: Truck Driver Arrested for Fatal Hit-and-Run of Teacher's Daughter
On February 4, 2069, police from Tha Sala Police Station in Nakhon Si Thammarat, along with Songkhla City Police and the Criminal Suppression Division, arrested Sittichai Chao Chai, 45, on a court warrant. The suspect was wanted for reckless driving causing death after a hit-and-run incident on August 2, 2025, at Green World intersection in Songkhla, where he struck and killed 25-year-old Bundittha Kaewngam. After the incident, the suspect fled immediately without offering assistance or reporting to authorities. The victim's father had filed a complaint with the Ombudsman's Office due to the investigation's delays. Upon arrest, Sittichai admitted to being the wanted person but denied all charges. Background checks revealed he had previous convictions for traffic violations, drug offenses, and trespassing. Police processed him according to legal procedures and prepared to transfer him to Songkhla City Police Station for further legal action.
