The peaceful evening hum of Chon Buri’s Mueang district was shattered into a symphony of sirens and screeching tires on the night of January 14, 2025. It was 10 p.m. when a white Honda Jazz decided that a police checkpoint was better seen in the rearview mirror—a decision that set off a heart-pounding high-speed pursuit that could rival any Hollywood action scene.
Registered to the enigmatic number plate กต 1875 Khon Kaen, the Honda Jazz became an impromptu performer on the grand stage of Sukprayoon Road, orchestrating a chaotic overture that stretched through multiple districts. Hot on its trail were the diligent officers from Don Hua Lo and Phan Thong Police Stations. The chase reached its crescendo at a U-turn near a local temple, where the officers attempted to end the pursuit with a daring maneuver—shooting the car’s front left tire. Yet, the suspect, unfazed by the dramatic blow, continued to weave through traffic, creating a trail of chaos in their wake.
In this adrenaline-fueled ballet, two civilian motorcyclists became unwilling participants, their encounter with the Jazz resulting in serious injuries. The black Honda Wave, registered as 1 กภ 1731 Chaiyaphum, lay testament to the calamity instigated by the Jazz, crumpled against its rear end.
The road drama didn’t end at the temple, as the Jazz’s persistent driver abandoned the vehicle amidst the swirl of chaos, choosing the shadowy corridors of a nearby alley to make their escape. The rapid response from the Tri-Khunatham Foundation rescue personnel brought a comforting end to the injured riders’ ordeal, whisking them away to Phan Thong Hospital where further medical care awaited.
As police pieced together this nightly tapestry of recklessness, they discovered collateral damage involving a green Mitsubishi Mirage and yet another white Honda Jazz, both veterans of rear-end clashes with the fugitive driving maestro. Da, a 47-year-old woman and the Mirage’s owner, revealed that this high-octane escapade was kindled by suspicions of drug possession, sparking a chase that began in Mueang district and crescendoed to its frenetic finale in Nong Tamlueng, Phan Thong district.
The cost of the chase didn’t end with the wreckage left in the suspect’s wake. Two officers from Don Hua Lo Police Station bore the scars of the night’s pursuit, sustaining wrist injuries when their own vehicle was driven off the road under duress.
The trail of the renegade Honda Jazz, as chronicled by KhaoSod, stretches over several kilometers—a testament to the suspect’s audacity and the urgency with which the police chased justice that night. The police now have the suspect’s car in their possession, a crucial piece in their quest to stitch together the identity of the elusive driver and bring them before the law’s discerning gaze.
Sounds like something straight out of ‘Fast & Furious’! It’s scary how some people think they’re above the law.
Totally agree, Mark. Although I wonder if the police could have handled it differently. Shooting at tires on a busy road seems reckless.
Good point, Anna. It’s a tough call. But in the heat of the moment, it might have seemed like the best option.
Y’all need to chill. It takes guts to run from cops like that. Maybe the driver had no choice!
This isn’t a thrill ride, it’s criminal behavior! The driver put lives in danger, and now two innocent people are hospitalized.
Instead of glorifying this, let’s focus on the victims. Has anyone checked if they’re okay?
Karen, you’re absolutely right. Latest reports say they’re stable, but what a traumatic experience!
Props to the Honda Jazz for holding up that long. The engineering is impressive.
Honestly, can’t believe you’re applauding the car. People were hurt here!!
It’s quite clear that more training is needed for officers to manage such pursuits safely.
The suspect ran because they were in trouble. Let’s not act like they’re a hero. This needs serious consequences.
Agree, Larry. But what drove them to make that choice? Society should address these root causes.
Sure, but individual accountability can’t be ignored either.
It baffles me how people justify this behavior under any circumstances.
Agreed. The law exists to protect us, and everyone should respect that.
Sometimes the law system is flawed and pushes people to desperation.
What about the environmental damage? All that fuel waste and potential for a spill in this kind of chase.
Absolutely, Maya. It’s not just about catching the bad guy, it’s how we do it that matters.
Chases look cool in movies but they’re dangerous IRL. People forget about real-life risks.
I stand by the police officers. They risk their lives daily. This driver was reckless and deserved pursuit.
Supporting the police is fine, but shouldn’t they exercise better judgment on crowded roads?
Chon Buri has seen its share of such incidents. We need to look back to understand and prevent future chases.
Shocked at this lawlessness! What if it happened when my kids were out? We need safer roads.
At least no one died, but the chaos it caused is exactly why we need better regulations around police chases.
I say blame the driver 100%. Anyone who chooses to flee forces these kinds of reactions.
