Mistaken for drunks, left to die: Thailand’s police have a deadly blind spot
AI Summary
In Bangkok, Thailand, 21-year-old Warissara died after a motorbike accident in February of last year. Emergency responders, detecting alcohol and finding no identification, mistakenly assumed she was drunk and sent her to the Phahonyothin police station instead of a hospital. Despite suffering from internal injuries including fractured ribs, a ruptured lung, and a ruptured liver, she was left unattended on the floor. Approximately 90 minutes later, she suffered a seizure. Although a medical team was called, Warissara died at the station around 6 a.m. The incident highlights a deadly blind spot in how Thai police and emergency responders handle accident victims suspected of intoxication, prioritizing detention over immediate medical care.
