First responders administered first aid, but the man refused to go to the hospital, fearing he wouldn’t be able to afford the medical bills.
After the crash, the driver’s female companion insulted the injured street vendor, allegedly calling him a “wimp” and accusing him of pretending to be hurt.

She also obstructed responders trying to administer first aid, which led nearby locals to intervene and restrain her.
The woman further claimed to know a high-ranking officer, suggesting that police shouldn’t arrest her because of her connections.
However, once handcuffed, she began speaking to the officers in English, asking: “Why? What did I do wrong?”

She later switched back to Thai and argued that the officers had no right to take her phone because she hadn’t killed anyone.
Locals cheered when police finally arrested the driver and his female companion.
In a video shared by One News, a woman shouted with joy, “Come look! She’s finally been cuffed,” with a satisfied smile on her face.

Police are investigating whether the Singaporean man was indeed the driver, as the intoxicated woman claims to have been behind the wheel.
Witnesses, however, insist the Singaporean man was the one driving the vehicle.
