It took place at 2.30pm on the Pathum Thani-Bang Bua Thong Road in front of Parichart Housing Estate in Muang district.

The 17-year-old girl, who worked in a shop, had just bought her lunch from a noodle stall and was crossing the road when the accident happened.

Initially, only the lower half of her body was found in the middle of the road.

Later, the upper half of the body was found in the Porsche's passenger's seat, which was left about 10km from the scene.

The upper half of the body had crashed through the windshield and landed there.

The suspect, who cannot be identified because he is 19 years of age, apologised for hitting and killing 17-year-old Khambai Inthilad, a Laotian, before driving a further 10 kilometres and fleeing from the car in panic. He was driving at 120 kph.

"I was shocked, and did not know what to do. I did not intend to escape," he was reported as saying.
