A teenager was killed when an extremely drunk driver plowed his pickup truck into her motorbike in Nongprue.
Supawadee Lakchai, 18, died of massive injuries after being hit by an Isuzu truck that subsequently flipped on Chaiyapornwitee Road near Pornthep 5 Village May 17.
Chaipichit Tawapee, 39, was too drunk to clearly talk with police, but officers determined that he hit a pothole and lost control of his vehicle, hitting the young woman.
The driver was tested for alcohol use and found to have a blood-alcohol level of 2.46 percent, nearly five times the legal limit.
