The driver responsible for the fatal hit-and-run that killed Associate Professor Surasawat Sukswasdi has surrendered to Chang Phueak Police Station. The senior lecturer at Chiang Mai University's Faculty of Fine Arts was struck by a vehicle while cycling at the 700-Year Stadium on the morning of April 28. He suffered multiple fractures and died before reaching Nakhon Ping Hospital.

On May 1, Chiang Mai Provincial Police Commander Yutthana Kaenjanchan announced that the driver had turned himself in to investigation officers at Chang Phueak Police Station.
