According to Thai media news, on April 29, officers from the Sattahip Police Department in Chonburi Province, Thailand, received a report that a traffic accident occurred in the Bang Sare area of the local area, and a car crashed into the cement guardrail of a roadside house, and the people in the car were seriously injured and trapped. Subsequently, the police immediately coordinated rescuers to rush to the scene to check.
Upon arrival, the police found that the accident vehicle was a black Toyota Vios, the front of which was completely damaged by the impact, and the cement guardrail had been knocked out of a gap in the size of the body. Police found a deceased person in the car, known as Mr. Colin Robert Hastings, 74, a British businessman and publisher of "The Big Chilli" magazine, and the father of British-Thai actress Angie Hastings.
When rescuers found him, the British man had no vital signs and blood was coming from his mouth and nose. Despite this, he was resuscitated and taken to the hospital, but in the end, his life could not be saved. According to the description of the witnesses, it is preliminarily judged that no other vehicles were involved in the accident, or that the parties themselves caused it.
At present, the police have sent the man's body to the autopsy and are ready to coordinate with the embassy and his family to come and collect it to deal with the aftermath. As for the cause of the accident, the police judged that it may have been due to the fainting of the person concerned in hot weather. At the same time, Angie Hastings posted through his personal social account that he was deeply shocked and sad, saying that he needed time to accept the matter.
