A BRIT OAP was tragically killed in a horror car crash in Thailand.
The woman was reportedly crossing a road with her shopping when a high-speed SUV struck her in Nonthaburi, just outside Bangkok.
Cops arrived at the scene, where they found the Brit expat lying on the road with fatal head and neck injuries.
Her groceries were scattered on the ground, while the Toyota pickup was found with a broken bumper.
The driver was detained at the police station for further questioning about the crash which took place on December 3.
Police said she will be charged with reckless driving causing death.
Her husband, who arrived later at the police station, was left in “deep grief” .
Though devastated with sorrow, he told police that he had come to terms with his wife’s death.
He said: “No matter how much I blame the driver, my wife will not come back. Suzanne was my life. Nothing can make up for that.”
Deputy mayor Somsak Duangson said he was close friends with the British couple, who had moved to Thailand for retirement eight years ago.
He said the pair purchased a home in the area five years ago, and were well-loved by their neighbours.
The local official added: “A few days ago, they told me they had booked a place in Pattaya to celebrate Christmas together.
“I never imagined something like this would happen. I’m ready to help arrange a Thai Buddhist ceremony for her.”
The Sun has approached the Foreign Office for comment.
Thailand has one of the world’s worst road safety records.
A lack of road safety education in schools, notoriously easy driving tests, and police failures to enforce road laws have resulted in hundreds of road accidents.
It comes after a Brit tourist was killed after an off-road tour truck ploughed into a tree in a horror crash.
The man, 70, was rushed to the hospital after the accident in Kentira, Morocco, on October 30.
He spent two weeks in critical care in the North African coastal city before dying on November 13.
The travel and hiking fanatic had been a passenger in a truck tour run by Leeds-based extreme holiday firm Oasis Overland.
