British man charged with killing 2 motorcyclists, driving off, Koh Samui.
SURAT THANI – A Briton was detained and charged shortly after a Ford Everest rammed into a motorcycle on Koh Samui, killing the two riders, and then speeding off with the wrecked scooter trapped beneath it.
The Ford Everest, with a Surat Thani licence plate, was stopped two kilometres from the scene of the crash. The wreckage of a Fino motorscooter was found wedged beneath the seven-seat vehicle, Thai media reported on Wednesday.
Police said the driver, Nicholas Edward, 41, a British national, appeared drunk when they managed to stop his vehicle following a chase.
The crash occurred on Thaweeratpakdi Road on Koh Samui around 10pm on Tuesday.
Witnesses told police the vehicle overtook a van and crashed head-on with a motorcycle heading for tambon Bo Phut. The impact threw the two men on the bike on to the road. The driver of the car then sped away.
The victims were identified as bike rider Khamnueng Srimaya, 56, and Somchai Sae Jong, 56, the pillion passenger.
Mr Nicholas told police he was returning home from a party at a hotel and was not aware his car had hit the motorcycle.
Police initially charged him with reckless driving causing death. He was taken away for an alcohol blood test.
