Families of tollway crash victims undergo counselling
The families of two passengers killed in a horrific tollway accident in December 2010 met with psychiatrists and counsellors yesterday as ordered by the Central Juvenile and Family Court.
The court has set another counselling session next Friday for the families of another three of the total nine people killed in the accident.
The families have been complaining publicly about the slow progress of the trial and the fact that the defendant – a minor at the time of the accident – and her family had not made an official commitment for full compensation or even offered an apology.
Thongphoon Phanthong, the mother of the van driver, said that she was being harassed for Bt570,000 in damages from the owner of a Honda sedan, which was hit during the crash. Thongphoon said all she wanted to know was when the court would make a verdict.
