A senior official of the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) was found drunk after his pickup truck crashed into a motorcycle, severing a delivery rider’s arm and killing him, before allegedly attempting to flee in Nonthaburi on Wednesday night.

The suspect, identified as Jarong Kroamoh, was tested and found to have a blood alcohol level of 189 milligrammes per 100 millilitres of blood, far beyond the legal limit for driving at 50mg, according to officers at the Bang Srimueang police station.
