BURIRAM — A 22-year-old woman named "Ji" died after being struck by a speeding sedan while collecting rice drying along the roadside in Buriram province. Her cousin, Khwanchai Rueangphaisan, chased the vehicle to a temple where it was found abandoned, leading to suspicions that a monk associated with the temple may have been behind the wheel.
The incident occurred at around 5:00 PM in front of Wat Khok Charoen in Ban Yang subdistrict, Mueang district. The victim suffered multiple leg fractures and was unconscious at the scene when the car fled the scene. The car was later discovered parked inside a temple about 10 kilometers away from the crash site. Local residents suspected the monk driving the car, but could not confirm if he was driving at the time of the collision.
Authorities are now investigating the driver's identity and examining the evidence to ensure a fair outcome.
