Mr. Apichat Sombatjaroen, 41, the motorcycle tow truck operator, said he discussed at the scene that they could not settle matters there because there were injured persons, and no money was requested. The police tried asking Mr. Anan, who insisted that a rescue worker on a motorcycle had come to ask for 8,000 baht to settle the accident but could not recall where or what that person looked like.Tags: [tow truck operator, rescue worker, police inquiry, payment denial, accident settlement]
