Young woman in fatal crash ‘may have breached parole’

Department of Probation head Pol Colonel Narat Sawetanan said yesterday that the teenage girl who caused a Bangkok expressway crash that killed nine people in 2010 has not yet done public service as ordered by a court, and thus may have violating the term

The woman, now 22, was given a four-year suspended jail term last year and ordered to do public service for 48 hours per year throughout the four-year period. She was banned from driving until the age of 25. 
Failing to inform her probation official first, she just submitted documents claiming she had performed public service at Phra Mongkut Hospital. When an official reportedly told her correct steps she should have taken, her family filed a complaint to the Ombudsman’s Office claiming the official intimidated her, Narat said. He said that the department told the court of her alleged breach of probation conditions, so the court would have a hearing on June 21
