Krabi: The Attorney General's Office for the Protection of Rights advises hospitals and relatives to file a report against a pickup truck blocking an emergency vehicle. The Attorney General's Office for the Protection of Rights advises hospitals and relatives of patients whose pickup trucks are blocking them from transferring patients to file a report, stating that emotions are no longer greater than the law. Those found guilty will face serious charges.
According to Thai News Agency, Mr. Kosolwat Inthuchanyong, Director-General of the Office of the Attorney General for the Protection of Rights and Legal Aid for the Public, urged the relatives of the deceased and the hospital to file a report so the police can investigate. The death of a person is a criminal offense against the state, and the police are responsible for investigating to determine the truth. If it can be proven that the death resulted from obstruction and a failure to transfer the vehicle in time, the case may fall under negligence causing death, or there may have been intentional foresight of the death. The charges rest with the investigating officer, who will investigate to find the truth and compile a report. The law is not based on emotion or news reports, but rather on the facts and evidence.
He added that this type of action falls under the same category as those who stay in the right lane, blocking an ambulance. There's already a social lesson to be learned. Therefore, please live your life mindfully and avoid emotional abuse. We shouldn't use our rights to cause others distress. If the pickup truck owner abused his rights and caused the death of another person, he must be held accountable for his actions. However, justice must be served in this case until an investigation is conducted to determine whether the pickup truck intentionally stalled and refused to move, as reported in the news. The moral of this incident is to use mindfulness and avoid emotional abuse. No emotion is greater than the law. Ultimately, many cases have been taught lessons. In addition to facing criminal charges, those who act emotionally are also punished in society. Some have been fired from their jobs and had their history dug up.
The pickup truck driver's company posted a statement regarding the incident at Plai Phraya Hospital in Krabi Province. The company stated that after learning of the incident, it expedited a thorough investigation and discovered that the individual involved was indeed a company employee. Upon reviewing the facts, the company believes such behavior is inconsistent with the organization's values and operating principles. Therefore, it has resolved to terminate the employee's employment. The company expresses its deepest condolences to the family of the deceased and all those affected by this incident.
