An angry German man, whose Hyundai was rear-ended by a SUV in front of a shopping plaza, reportedly jumped onto the Mitsubishi Pajero, whose Thai driver was allegedly trying to flee the scene.
The driver of the SUV then reportedly swerved and lost control before smashing into parked motorbikes and finally crashing into a second vehicle (pictured).
At midday yesterday, Krabi police inspector, Lt Col Chatchai Narkpaksi, was called to investigate the accident in which two men were injured.
On the side of the road police found the red-plate Pajero and the silver Honda saloon that it had crashed into.
The SUV driver’s side door was open with its airbags activated. There was a small crowd surrounding rescue workers tending to an injured Thai man on lying on the pavement.
Two injured men were identified as the Pajero driver, Mr Kiettiyot Pramownkarn, 19, who suffered a leg injury, and Mr Vitalii Slobodchikov, 37, who drove the Hyundai, and had suffered an arm injury.
Police questioned Kiettiyot and determined that he had crashed his Pajero into the back of the Hyundai before attempting to flee the scene.
When Mr Vitalii got out of the Hyundai and unsuccessfully tried to open the Pajero's door, he jumped on top of the vehicle, police said.
Police said that Kiettiyot did not stop and tried to shake the German man off his car by swerving sharply, before smashing into the other vehicles.
Police took both men to Krabi police station for questioning, but only charged Kiettiyot with reckless driving and causing injury to another person, and released Vitalii.
