SAMUI — A truck driver seen running over a foreign tourist and driving away from the scene surrendered to police Sunday on Koh Samui.
Sanong Songkul, 45, confessed to hitting the Israeli man with his pick-up truck on Saturday night, but defended his decision not to stop to help the wounded man because he was afraid crowds of onlookers might attack him, a police officer at a local station said.
The moment Sanong hit the tourist as he walking on the ring road was captured by a security camera and later posted on social media.
In the low-quality video, the pick-up truck appears to knock down the Israeli man and then drive over his head before speeding away from the scene.
