Following a single car accident on the overhead bypass in North Pattaya, in which a vehicle fell from the raised roadway into the bushland below, police uncovered the presence of an illegal narcotic in the vehicle wreckage.

Pattaya, the 1^st of August 2010 [PDN]: At approximately 5:30pm on Sunday, Lieutenant Colonel Jakkarin Toursuphap (Pattaya Police Investigator) was notified of a potentially fatal car accident near the bypass onramp in North Pattaya. A team of officers were dispatched to the incident to investigate.

Arriving at the scene, officers found the damaged vehicle, a Toyota Yaris, in a patch of bushland underneath the overhead bypass. Reportedly, the two victims of the accident had already been transported to the Bangkok Pattaya Hospital.

Closer inspections of the vehicle uncovered a suspicious package, later found to be Ya-Ice, concealed inside a cream coin purse. Also confiscated was a small vial, equipment used to inhale the illegal drug and over Bt10,000 in cash. The total weight of the drugs found is estimated at approximately 4 grams.

Later interrogations of Miss Suksawan Klinhorm [24], a passenger in the accident, revealed that the car had “inexplicably” lost control approaching the scene before crashing over the overpass sidewall. She denied any knowledge of the presence of Ya-Ice in the vehicle.

Interrogation of the driver, Mr. Khajornwit Ngamthanawat [35], will commence upon his discharge from the hospital. Mr. Ngamthanawat was severely injured in the accident.

No matter how you try to spin it, these ya-ba dope fiends and their dealers are the scourge of Thailand.

What if the vehicle had hit a bus load of people returning from the temple?

It's a good thing I'm not the judge in these criminal cases - things would be different...

Bob 4 grams is for personal use not for dealing.
Successful drug dealing in Thailand is like saying if you only use one bullet while playing Russian roulette you will be ok.

Not taking the drugs that you are selling, especially while you are driving might be part of the intelligence needed to be a successful drug dealer.

Bob you obviously have never been under the influence of illegal substances.
Yaba or ya-ice are all amphetamines and if you ever ride on a non government bus you will realise how crazy it can make a persons driving.

You would expect someone carrying illegal drugs to be a very careful driver not wanting to have an accident or get stopped by the police. Sometimes logic in Thailand seems to be confused. Someone is guilty of felony stupidity and drug possession.
