PHUKET: Police have charged a man involved in a fatal collision on Phuket yesterday with dangerous driving leading to a death.
Mamid Pratep Na Thalang, 57, had just turned left off Thapkasattri Road in Kor Kaew about 5.30pm when his minivan collided with Jantima Srilertchalalai, who was riding her motorbike about one kilometer from British International School.
Khun Jantima, 24, was killed. A helmet was found on the road nearby but officers are not able to say whether she was wearing it at the time.
A crowd gathered at the scene, as happens whenever there is a crash anywhere on Phuket. There was no suggestion of Khun Mamid fleeing.
Phuket's road toll for 2014 is not known. Authorities ceased releasing monthly updates in April, 2012.

Unfortunately this is a well used rat run for vehicles travelling at excessive speeds. This is s straight stretch of the road so no excuse for this waste of a life.
