The Director of the NACC Investigation Office admitted only to the charge of drunk driving causing another's death. He denied two other charges—negligence and failure to stop—and apologized with a wai gesture to the victim's family. He affirmed the incident was a personal matter unrelated to the organization and that no one wanted this to happen, nor was there any intention to switch drivers.
At 12:45 p.m. on 29 May 2026, after investigators spent over three hours questioning Mr. Jorng Kraomoh, Director of the NACC Investigation and Special Affairs Office, he was taken to have his fingerprints recorded. Upon completion, he gave an interview.
Mr. Jorng Kraomoh said he expressed his condolences and apologized to the victim's family, as well as to the NACC Office for the impact on the organization's image. He reaffirmed that the incident was personal and that no one wished for such an event to occur.
He said he felt deeply regretful as he is also a father and knew the deceased had two children. Since the incident, he has been unable to sleep. He insisted he did not avoid the media but only recently learned of the summons and came today intending to fully cooperate with the authorities.
He also confirmed he would fully care for and take responsibility toward the victim's family, including compensation and assistance as much as he is able. This evening, he planned to attend the victim's funeral and would continue attending daily until the ceremonies conclude.
Regarding rumors about switching drivers, Mr. Jorng insisted he was the sole driver. After work at about 4:30 p.m., he went to a restaurant and admitted to drinking alcohol before driving alone. He claimed that heavy rain while driving home prevented him from realizing he had hit someone, only sensing that another vehicle had struck his car. The images of him sitting in the passenger seat afterward were from when he was using his phone to contact relatives.
Mr. Jorng emphasized he did not act disruptively or invoke his position as some reports suggested. He said confusion occurred at the scene because people surrounded the car and pulled on the door as he was about to get in.
On disciplinary matters, Mr. Jorng said it would be up to the NACC Office to consider and proceed according to their procedures.
Regarding the investigation and charges, investigators informed him of three charges: 1. Drunk driving causing death; 2. Reckless driving causing death; and 3. Leaving the scene without stopping to help or identifying oneself to authorities. Mr. Jorng admitted to the drunk driving causing death charge but denied the other two. After recording the official report, he was allowed to leave.
