Ministry ‘sorry’ for hit-and-run incident, vows to punish driver

The car that was nearly hit was bringing back a soldier and a pharmacist from Chantaburi, where they had gone to teach people how to make hand-sanitising gel. The duo had captured the incident on their phones.

A clip of the accident has gone viral on social media. The car appeared to be that of a high-ranking official, while the rest of the cars in the caravan carried the Agriculture and Cooperatives Ministry’s permanent-secretary’s insignia. 
Pol General Krisana Pattanacharoen, deputy spokesperson of Royal Thai Police, had said earlier that police would look into the case to see if it was under police supervision.
