Police hunt rider after 72-year-old woman killed in hit-and-run

BANGKOK — On 25 August, a 72-year-old woman named Wilaiphorn Sutthichujit was tragically killed in a hit-and-run incident near Bangpakok 1 International Hospital in Bangkok’s Suksawat area. The woman was crossing a pedestrian crossing when an alleged motorcyclist hit her at high speed. The incident occurred at around 06:38 and the woman later died in the hospital.

Two passengers rode with the alleged rider, who reportedly fled the scene without stopping to check on the victim. Police are currently searching for the motorcyclist, described as a heavy-set man wearing a long-sleeved jacket, and the two passengers - a man and a woman. The blue Honda PCX motorcycle they were riding remains unidentified due to the lack of visible license plate in available CCTV footage.

The victim's family requested anyone with dashcam, rear-camera, mobile-phone or nearby CCTV footage to come forward with any information that may help identify the rider and passengers.
