A 17-year-old girl was shaken off a moving pickup truck and injured after the driver accelerated and swerved violently along a reservoir road in Chonburi Province on April 26, prompting police to search for the fleeing suspect.
A good Samaritan witnessed a 17-year-old girl clinging to a pickup truck before being violently shaken off and injured, with the driver fleeing the scene. Parents filed a reckless endangerment complaint. Security footage captured a black Ford four-door pickup at approximately 7:09 PM parking at the location where the victim confirmed they had stopped to talk. The incident occurred at 8:45 PM on April 26, 2025. Deputy Lieutenant Colonel Chanjai Songwansaksri of Nong Prue Station responded to reports of a girl injured after falling from a pickup truck in front of Kao Pho Thong Temple on the Mab Prachan Reservoir road in Bang Lamung District, Chonburi Province. Upon arrival, officers found the victim, 17-year-old Miss Bow (alias), with abrasions on both knees. She reported being picked up by a man approximately 30 years old whom she had recently met on April 23. He claimed he would help her find a job after she completed her vocational training. After leaving a bungalow in Nong Prue soi, they went for hot pot before he drove her to the reservoir area. As she attempted to exit the vehicle, he suddenly accelerated and tried to flee, forcing her to jump onto the side of the truck. The man then drove aggressively, swerving violently for about 500 meters along the reservoir road until she fell in front of Kao Pho Thong Temple. He fled in the black Ford Ranger four-door pickup without a rear license plate. A 23-year-old witness named Mix recorded video footage showing the victim attempting to hold onto the truck and pounding on the window with her right hand as the vehicle swerved before she fell. Mix stated he initially thought they were playing but became concerned when the truck accelerated rapidly and swerved dangerously, prompting him to record the incident. The suspect drove approximately 500 meters along the reservoir road before the victim lost her grip near the temple and fell, sustaining injuries. The suspect then fled quickly in the direction of Siam Country Club Golf Course. Police coordinated with the victim's parents to transport her to Pattaya Patumwan Hospital for treatment.
