The chief of Phahonyothin Police Station has ordered the establishment of a fact-finding committee regarding the case of a woman who crashed her motorcycle. Police and rescue workers carried her to the police station instead of sending her to the hospital, and she ultimately died at the station. He emphasized that the case is not delayed despite the incident occurring in 2025, but requires time for investigation. He strictly instructed that any patient, injured, or unconscious person, whether intoxicated or not, must be sent to hospital in every case.
In the case, Mrs. Samaporn Pongkhamla, age 52, the mother, filed a complaint with the Sai Mai Must Survive Facebook page after her daughter crashed a motorcycle on Lat Phrao Road but was not taken to the hospital by rescue workers. They claimed to have smelled alcohol and took her to the police station instead without providing assistance. The daughter eventually died, and the mother expressed dissatisfaction with the police and rescue workers' actions. After one year, the case has not progressed. Ekaphop from Sai Mai Must Survive urged the police to promptly revise their procedures because such incidents are recurring, similar to the Bang Pa Han case.
On 8 March 2026, Police Colonel Marut Sudnongbua, chief of Phahonyothin Police Station, provided an update explaining that the victim's family has filed a complaint with the station's investigators. The case is currently under fact-finding investigation. A special investigative team has been appointed to gather evidence and interview all involved parties, including police officers, rescue workers, and witnesses present on the day of the incident, to compile a detailed case file. Additionally, a disciplinary committee has been set up to investigate the police officers on duty during the incident.
At this stage, detailed information cannot be disclosed as the investigation is ongoing. However, it is assured that justice will be served for all parties, including the deceased's family and involved officials. The preliminary findings of the investigative team are expected within approximately 1–2 weeks. It was emphasized that the police have not delayed the case; rather, the process requires time to sequentially summon and interview surrounding witnesses, the victim's family, and those accused, to thoroughly collect evidence and testimonies.
Since the incident, strict operational guidelines have been imposed on officials. If any person is found to be ill, injured, or unconscious, regardless of intoxication, they must be immediately sent to the hospital for medical diagnosis to prevent such incidents from recurring.
Regarding the victim's family's doubts about the officials' conduct and allegations that investigators intimidated the victim, it was stated that if there are further complaints or evidence, they can be provided to the investigators to allow comprehensive verification of the facts.
Recent investigations revealed that the chat room in question is not affiliated with any single rescue foundation but is a combined incident alert group covering the Lat Phrao area, consisting of members from multiple rescue foundations. The chat channel naming one particular rescue foundation was found to be unrelated to the incident, as the deceased was assisted and taken to Phahonyothin Police Station by a different, well-known rescue foundation.
