Singer Oi Sangsilp Questions How 11-Year-Old Drove Car
An 11-year-old boy took his parents' pickup truck on a Mukdahan road and struck a Buddhist alms procession, killing 10 monks including the father of singer Oi Sangsilp, who questioned how a child could operate the vehicle.
A shocking accident on the Mukdahan-Ubon Ratchathani road in Mukdahan province claimed the lives of 10 Buddhist monks when an 11-year-old boy took his parents' pickup truck and lost control, striking an alms-gathering procession. Among the deceased was Phra Ratcha, the father of renowned singer Oi Sangsilp, along with numerous other injured. Following the tragedy, Oi Sangsilp took to Facebook expressing his disbelief about the incident. He posted: "I still can't believe a child who has never driven before could operate a car—a vehicle isn't an automatic machine that anyone can control." In another post, he added: "A child is still a child—the parents are the ones who must come forward and take responsibility for this." After the posts circulated, fans and netizens responded with an outpouring of condolences and commentary. Oi Sangsilp was left in shock as his father was among the 10 monks who perished in the collision.
