MANOP THIP-OSOD
The chief of Phaya Thai police station was hit by a city bus and seriously hurt while clearing a route for Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn's motorcade at Victory Monument yesterday morning.
The accident occurred about 8.30am. Pol Col Karoon Klinprayoon was taken to Phaya Thai 2 hospital's intensive care unit for treatment for brain injuries. He was later declared out of danger and moved to another room.
The bus driver, Nikom Chaiyakul, 29, of Chiang Rai's Khun Tan district, was arrested and charged with reckless driving.
He said he had been driving the route 538 bus between Klong 6 in Rangsit and Victory Monument for only four months.
On arriving at Victory Monument he was told by a traffic policeman not to drive in the left lane. He switched to a right lane without noticing Pol Col Karoon was standing there.
Pol Maj-Gen Viroj Jantharangsi, deputy metropolitan police chief, said Pol Col Karoon saw the bus coming towards him and tried to run but was unable to avoid being hit.
