Japanese police are questioning three Thai nationals involved in a car accident after the car they were travelling in hit two Japanese students, killing one of them and leaving the other in critical condition, according to MCOT.

Permanent Secretary for Foreign Affairs Sihasak Phungketkeao, acting Foreign Affairs Minister, told the press today that he received a report that Japanese police arrested three Thai citizens for allegedly running over two Japanese students on the road in Choshi city in Chiba province on August 14, killing a male student and severely injuring a female student at the scene.
Sihasak said he has no further details about what had happened, the identities of the Thais, or their current status.  He emphasized, however, that since an accident has happened, the three Thais must oblige by Japanese laws and regulations.
