  "account": "A Thai man in his fifties suffered serious injuries after being hit by a car while attempting to retrieve his wife's keys during an argument on Mahidol Road in Chiang Mai yesterday, September 9. Emergency responders from the Phetkasem Foundation and Central Memorial Hospital were alerted to the crash around 7:15pm and rushed to the scene, where they provided immediate medical attention before transporting the victim to Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital for further treatment. The sedan's driver expressed shock and distress following the incident, but it is unclear whether he sustained any physical harm. Eyewitnesses stated that the couple had previously engaged in a heated argument inside a sedan before the woman exited the vehicle and crossed the road to retrieve the key. The husband then chased after her, crossing the median and ultimately becoming the victim of the vehicle collision. Police have launched an investigation, reviewing CCTV footage and interviewing witnesses to determine the sequence of events leading up to the accident. They urged the public to exercise caution when crossing roads, especially during evening hours. The incident has sparked criticism of the couple for their reckless behavior, which endangered other drivers and pedestrians on the road.",
