Chonburi Police stationed at Bowin Police Station near Sriracha received a report of a shooting incident from security staff at Amata City Industrial Estate. The police and rescue workers rushed to the scene near Suankularb Wittayalai School where they found a Rayong plated Toyota Commuter van belonging to The Sakura Company.
The Van had sustained multiple bullet holes to the windscreen and side door. The doors were locked so rescue workers had to smash the windscreen to gain access to the driver of the van. The rescue workers were able to extricate the driver Khun Yutthajak Wongsoonthorn aged 40 a Sriracha resident. Khun Yutthajak had suffered gunshot wounds to his head and his shoulder. He was in a serious condition and after receiving first aid at the scene he was transported quickly to Pluak Daeng hospital.
The police interviewed witnesses to the incident in particular a man who had been cutting grass nearby. He said that an articulated lorry had cut in front of the commuter van forcing it to stop. The driver got out of the lorry, walked up to the van and fired a hail of bullets into it. Then he calmly got back into his cab and drove away.
The police gathered evidence at the scene and then proceeded to the hospital in the hope of interviewing the badly wounded driver. Unfortunately they found that Khun Yutthajak had succumbed to his gunshot wounds.
Police are looking for the maniacal driver of the lorry and when found will be charged with the murder of Khun Yutthajak.
