BANGKOK — Not long before speeding on to cause two highway deaths, vehicular manslaughter suspect Jenphop Viraporn smashed through a Bangkok toll booth barrier in an incident also captured on video.
About an hour before the 37-year-old luxury car dealer slammed into a vehicle on a highway in Ayutthaya which then burst into flames, killing two students inside, Jenphop was filmed in the same Mercedes-Benz in a video uploaded to social media Friday.
Damkoeng Pankam, deputy director of the national expressway, Friday confirmed it was Jenphop’s car seen in the video. According to Damkoeng, Jenphop drove through the booth from Rama IV Road in Bangkok at 10:58am on Sunday.
