Two German tourists were killed at a Khao Lak pedestrian crossing after police say a pickup tore through a red light and struck them on Friday night. Wilbert Schwiers, 64, and Gabriela Gulden, 63, had arrived in the resort only two days earlier. The driver fled before surrendering with the damaged Mazda less than a day later and now faces three charges. Yet the deaths come amid a disturbing record on Phetkasem Road. Another German couple were struck at a Khao Lak crossing last year, while a French tourist died at one in 2022. Local tourism leaders previously said similar accidents occurred almost weekly at one crossing. Most strikingly, the latest deaths came just three days after Phang-nga officials discussed pedestrian safety and traffic signals.

Two German tourists were killed after a pickup tore through a red light at a Khao Lak pedestrian crossing. Police say the driver then fled, leaving both critically injured victims on Phetkasem Road.

Hours later, investigators traced the vehicle and identified their suspect. By Saturday afternoon, the 37-year-old Phang-nga man had surrendered with the damaged pickup. He now faces three criminal charges.

The deadly collision struck at about 9.45 pm on Friday, October 2. It happened in Nang Thong, one of Khao Lak’s busiest tourist areas. The victims were Wilbert Schwiers, 64, and Gabriela Gulden, 63, both German nationals. They had arrived in the resort only two days earlier. Their planned nine-day stay was due to end on October 9.

German couple struck by pickup after police say it ran a red light at Khao Lak pedestrian crossing

Instead, both were dead before their third full day in Khao Lak had ended. The couple were crossing Phetkasem Road in Khuekkhak, Takua Pa district. They were walking from the central reservation towards the roadside. At that moment, a white Mazda BT-50 pickup approached from the Takua Pa direction.

Crucially, police say CCTV captured the seconds before impact. The Mazda was travelling towards Thai Mueang and running close to the central reservation. The traffic signal facing the pickup was red. Yet the vehicle continued through the controlled crossing. Seconds later, it struck the German couple.

Both tourists were hurled onto the road and suffered devastating injuries. Bloodstains were later found about 10 metres from the crossing. Meanwhile, the Mazda continued towards Thai Mueang without stopping. Its driver provided no assistance at the scene, according to investigators. He also failed to immediately report the crash.

Emergency crews rushed both Germans to Khao Lak Medical Centre. However, doctors could not save them. Mr Schwiers and Ms Gulden subsequently died from their injuries. Their bodies later became part of a criminal investigation already moving quickly along Phetkasem Road.

Police launch hunt after CCTV captures pickup striking German tourists before continuing south from scene

In response, Khao Lak Police Station launched an immediate search for the pickup. Pol Lt Col Chokdee Saengmanee, an investigating officer, went to the crossing. By then, rescuers had transported both victims to hospital. Nevertheless, the road itself provided investigators with substantial physical evidence.

Officers photographed the scene and prepared an accident map. Separately, witnesses described a white Mazda BT-50 leaving after the collision. Police also began collecting CCTV footage from nearby businesses and cameras. That material soon gave investigators a trail towards Thai Mueang.

Notably, the recordings provided more than an escape route. Police say they also captured the fatal collision itself. The footage showed the German couple moving from the median towards the roadside. Simultaneously, the Mazda approached the crossing despite the red signal.

The pickup then hit both tourists before continuing south. From there, investigators followed camera recordings along its suspected route. Witnesses were questioned while officers examined evidence recovered from the crossing. Before long, police had identified the suspected driver.

Phang-nga driver surrenders with damaged Mazda as police file three charges over fatal collision

Thai reports named him under the pseudonym Mr Veera. The 37-year-old is a resident of Phang-nga province. At first, however, neither the driver nor the pickup remained at the crash scene. Police therefore continued their search into Saturday.

As part of that operation, investigators traced the Mazda to the Thai Mueang area. Reports said it had been parked in a soi beside a temple in Lam Kaen. The breakthrough came less than a day after the Germans were hit. Soon afterwards, the suspected driver contacted police.

At approximately 2 pm on Saturday, Mr Veera surrendered at Khao Lak Police Station. Importantly, he also brought the Mazda allegedly involved in the collision. Police immediately seized the vehicle for examination. Its front section showed damage consistent with a serious impact.

Pol Col Jesada Chanphum, Superintendent of Khao Lak Police Station, confirmed the developing criminal case. According to police, CCTV showed the Mazda driving through the red signal. The vehicle then struck both German pedestrians. Investigators have initially filed three charges.

First, police charged the driver with reckless driving causing death. A second charge concerns reckless or dangerous driving endangering people or property. The third relates to his conduct immediately after the collision.

Driver faces further tests as police examine Mazda and German victims undergo detailed autopsies

Specifically, police accuse him of failing to stop and provide reasonable assistance. They also accuse him of failing to immediately identify himself and report the crash. Those duties apply to drivers involved in road accidents. Investigators say they were not fulfilled on Friday night.

Mr Veera has confessed to the charges, according to police. Even so, the investigation is far from complete. Officers have taken samples for alcohol testing. Drug tests have also been carried out. Therefore, additional criminal charges remain possible.

Should those tests return positive results, police say further counts will follow. In parallel, forensic officers are examining the seized Mazda. Its damage can be compared with evidence recovered from Phetkasem Road. CCTV recordings and witness statements will also form part of the case.

On another front, procedures involving the two victims are continuing. Their bodies were initially examined after their deaths at Khao Lak Medical Centre. Afterwards, both were transferred to Vachira Phuket Hospital for detailed autopsies. Officials are also coordinating with their relatives and the German Embassy.

The deaths have again exposed a grim record of pedestrian collisions involving foreign visitors in Khao Lak. Significantly, Friday’s tragedy was not the first serious case involving German tourists. Another German couple were struck at a Khao Lak crossing in April 2025.

Earlier Khao Lak crash saw German parents struck at crossing while their toddler escaped serious injury

That collision also happened on Phetkasem Road. On April 15, Phillip David Lothar, 34, and Linda Raub, 32, were crossing at Bang Niang. Their toddler was with them. The German parents were pushing the child across a marked pedestrian crossing.

One vehicle stopped to let the family pass. In contrast, a pickup operating as a songthaew continued through the adjoining lane. It smashed into both parents while they were crossing. Remarkably, their toddler escaped serious injury.

The collision immediately triggered concern within the local tourism industry. Lertsak Ponklin, president of the Phang Nga Tourism Business Association, addressed the problem afterwards. He said similar accidents occurred at that crossing almost every week. He also said repeated warnings and meetings had failed to solve the problem.

Yet the April 2025 crash was itself part of an earlier record. Three years before Friday’s double fatality, another European tourist died at a Khao Lak zebra crossing. That victim was French national Jean-Yves Bornarel, 53.

In August 2022, Mr Bornarel was crossing a road in Khuekkhak, Takua Pa district. A car struck him while he was using a zebra crossing. He suffered critical injuries in the collision. Subsequently, he died while being transported to hospital.

Latest deaths follow earlier tourist crossing fatalities as officials again examine Khao Lak road safety

Elsewhere, another French tourist died at a marked pedestrian crossing in Kanchanaburi during April 2025. The victim was 40 years old. He was crossing the road when he was struck. That case added another foreign visitor to Thailand’s pedestrian crossing fatalities.

Still, Friday’s deaths carry a particularly stark connection to earlier Khao Lak crashes. The resort has repeatedly recorded serious collisions involving foreign pedestrians. Two of those cases involved German tourists. Another killed a French visitor.

More immediately, the latest deaths came only days after Phang-nga officials discussed pedestrian safety again. Officials met on September 29 following concerns over accidents involving foreign visitors. Pedestrian crossings and traffic signals were among the subjects discussed.

As part of those talks, officials considered measures covering tourists crossing Phetkasem Road. Three days later, Mr Schwiers and Ms Gulden were hit at another controlled crossing. This time, two tourists died.

Police say the circumstances were captured on CCTV. The Mazda approached while the German couple were already crossing towards the roadside. According to investigators, the signal facing the pickup was red. Nevertheless, the vehicle continued forward.

Fatal collision outside Khao Lak premises puts CCTV, red signal and driver’s departure at case centre

The collision occurred outside the Orchid Khao Lak premises in Moo 7, Khuekkhak. The location sits within the Nang Thong tourist area. Hotels, restaurants and businesses operate along both sides of Phetkasem Road. Consequently, visitors regularly cross the highway while moving around the resort.

At the same time, Phetkasem Road is a major north-south highway through Phang-nga. Through traffic therefore passes directly through Khao Lak’s tourist districts. Friday’s crash happened where those movements intersect at a controlled pedestrian crossing.

For police, however, the criminal case remains focused on the evidence. CCTV provides a record of the Mazda approaching the crossing. Investigators say it also shows the red signal. Seconds later, the pickup hits the two Germans.

After impact, police say the vehicle continued towards Thai Mueang. The driver did not remain with the critically injured couple. Nor did he immediately contact police. Instead, investigators had to begin searching for the vehicle.

Within hours, however, CCTV and witness evidence had narrowed that search. Police identified the Mazda and traced its movements. They also established the identity of their suspect. By Saturday afternoon, he was inside Khao Lak Police Station.

Police examine damaged Mazda and toxicology results as earlier Khao Lak crossing crashes return to focus

The vehicle itself now forms a central piece of physical evidence. Police have seized it and are examining the damaged front section. Investigators also have material recovered from the road. In addition, witness statements and multiple CCTV recordings are available.

The toxicology results remain outstanding. Likewise, detailed post-mortem examinations are continuing in Phuket. Those findings will be added to the investigation file. Further charges could follow if police establish alcohol or drug involvement.

Friday’s case also contains a critical difference from several earlier crossing collisions. Police say the traffic signal was red before the Mazda reached the crossing. Furthermore, investigators accuse the driver of leaving both victims after impact.

The April 2025 German family collision unfolded differently. In that case, one vehicle stopped for the pedestrians. However, another vehicle in an adjoining lane continued forward and struck the parents. Their toddler survived.

After that crash, the local tourism association publicly raised the frequency of similar incidents. Mr Lertsak said accidents happened almost weekly at that crossing. Earlier warnings and meetings had already taken place, he said.

German couple become latest foreign crossing fatalities as driver confesses to three initial charges

Before that, the 2022 death of Mr Bornarel had already established a fatal precedent. The French tourist was struck while using a zebra crossing in the same Khao Lak district. He later died from his injuries.

Now, Mr Schwiers and Ms Gulden have become the latest foreign fatalities at a Khao Lak pedestrian crossing. They arrived for their holiday on September 30. Their booking ran until October 9.

Instead, Friday night ended with both critically injured on Phetkasem Road. Emergency teams rushed them to hospital, but neither survived. Their bodies were later transferred to Phuket for forensic examination.

The suspected driver initially left the scene, according to police. Less than a day later, he surrendered with the Mazda. He has since confessed to the three initial charges.

For now, investigators are waiting for the remaining laboratory results. Police are also completing their examination of the pickup and CCTV evidence. Meanwhile, embassy and family procedures surrounding the two victims continue.

Police case rests on CCTV, damaged Mazda and confession after German couple killed at red-light crossing

The criminal case rests on a rapidly assembled chain of evidence. It includes CCTV, witnesses, the damaged Mazda and evidence recovered from the road. Police also have the driver’s confession to the initial charges.

Most importantly, investigators say CCTV captured the decisive moments. The German couple were crossing from the central reservation towards the roadside. The Mazda approached the controlled crossing as the signal showed red.

It did not stop, according to police. Instead, the pickup continued into the crossing and struck both tourists. Wilbert Schwiers and Gabriela Gulden were rushed to hospital with critical injuries.

Both died shortly afterwards.

在“犯罪”、“生活”、“媒体”、“泰国”类别下

周五晚间，两名德国游客在考拉（Khao Lak）人行横道被一辆闯红灯的皮卡车撞倒身亡。警方称，死者为64岁的威尔伯特·施维尔斯（Wilbert Schwiers）和63岁的加布里埃拉·古尔登（Gabriela Gulden），他们两天前才抵达该度假胜地。肇事司机逃逸，不到一天后驾驶受损的马自达轿车自首，目前面临三项指控。然而，这两起死亡事件发生之际，佩卡森路（Phetkasem Road）的交通事故记录令人担忧。去年，另一对德国夫妇在考拉人行横道被撞身亡；2022年，一名法国游客也在同一地点丧生。当地旅游业负责人此前曾表示，类似的事故几乎每周都会在该人行横道发生。更令人震惊的是，就在攀牙府（Phang-nga）官员讨论行人安全和交通信号灯问题的三天后，又发生了这起死亡事件。

两名德国游客在考拉人行横道被一辆闯红灯的皮卡车撞死。警方称，肇事司机随后逃逸，将两名重伤者遗弃在碧甲盛路上。

数小时后，调查人员追踪到肇事车辆并确认了嫌疑人身份。周六下午，这名37岁的攀牙府男子驾驶着受损的皮卡车投案自首。他目前面临三项刑事指控。

这起致命车祸发生在10月2日星期五晚上9点45分左右，地点位于考拉最繁忙的旅游区之一——南通。遇难者是64岁的威尔伯特·施维尔斯和63岁的加布里埃拉·古尔登，两人均为德国公民。他们两天前才抵达度假村，原计划在10月9日结束为期九天的行程。

警方称，一辆皮卡车在考拉人行横道闯红灯后撞倒了一对德国夫妇。

然而，两人在考拉的第三天还没结束就双双身亡。事发时，这对夫妇正在达瓜巴县库卡克镇的佩卡森路过马路。他们正从中央隔离带走向路边。就在这时，一辆白色马自达BT-50皮卡从达瓜巴方向驶来。

至关重要的是，警方表示，监控录像记录下了撞击发生前的几秒钟。这辆马自达皮卡当时正驶往泰芒方向，紧贴中央隔离带行驶。皮卡前方的交通信号灯是红灯。然而，这辆车却继续驶过人行横道。几秒钟后，它撞上了这对德国夫妇。

两名游客被甩到路上，身受重伤。事后在距离路口约10米处发现了血迹。与此同时，那辆马自达轿车继续驶向泰芒方向，并未停车。据调查人员称，司机在事故现场没有提供任何帮助，也没有立即报告事故。

急救人员迅速将两名德国人送往考拉医疗中心，但医生未能挽救他们的生命。施维尔斯先生和古尔登女士最终因伤势过重去世。他们的遗体随后成为一起刑事案件的调查对象，该案件当时已在碧甲盛路沿线迅速展开。

警方展开追捕，监控录像显示一辆皮卡车撞倒德国游客后继续向南逃窜。

事发后，考拉警察局立即展开对肇事皮卡的搜寻。负责调查的警官乔克迪·桑马尼中校前往事发路口。此时，救援人员已将两名伤者送往医院。尽管如此，道路本身仍为调查人员提供了大量物证。

警员拍摄了事故现场照片并绘制了事故地图。另有目击者称，事故发生后，一辆白色马自达BT-50轿车驶离现场。警方还开始收集附近商户和监控摄像头的录像。这些录像很快为调查人员提供了线索，指向泰孟城。

值得注意的是，录像不仅提供了逃生路线，警方称录像还记录了致命碰撞的全过程。录像显示，这对德国夫妇从中央隔离带走向路边。与此同时，马自达轿车无视红灯驶向人行横道。

随后，这辆皮卡车撞倒了两名游客，然后继续向南行驶。调查人员随后根据监控录像追踪了疑似路线。警方询问了目击者，并检查了从路口收集到的证据。不久，警方就锁定了嫌疑司机。

攀牙府一名司机驾驶受损的马自达汽车投案自首，警方就这起致命车祸提出三项指控。

泰国媒体以化名维拉先生（Mr Veera）指代此人。这名37岁的男子是攀牙府居民。然而，事故发生后，司机和皮卡车均未留在现场。因此，警方一直搜寻到周六。

作为行动的一部分，调查人员追踪到这辆马自达轿车位于泰孟地区。据报道，它曾停放在兰肯一座寺庙旁的小巷里。德国人遇袭不到一天，调查就取得了突破性进展。不久之后，嫌疑司机便联系了警方。

周六下午2点左右，维拉先生到考拉警察局自首。值得注意的是，他还带来了据称涉事的马自达轿车。警方立即扣押了该车进行检查。车辆前部损毁严重，表明曾遭受过猛烈撞击。

考拉警察局局长杰萨达·占普姆警上校证实了这起刑事案件正在调查中。据警方称，监控录像显示，这辆马自达轿车闯红灯，随后撞倒了两名德国行人。调查人员初步提出了三项指控。

首先，警方指控该司机鲁莽驾驶致人死亡。第二项指控涉及鲁莽或危险驾驶，危及他人或财产安全。第三项指控与他在碰撞发生后的行为有关。

警方将对肇事司机进行进一步调查，并对马自达汽车和德国遇难者进行详细尸检。

具体而言，警方指控他未停车并提供合理帮助，也未立即表明身份并报告事故。这些义务适用于所有涉及交通事故的驾驶员。调查人员称，周五晚间，他并未履行这些义务。

据警方称，维拉先生已承认指控。尽管如此，调查远未结束。警方已采集样本进行酒精检测，并已进行毒品检测。因此，仍有可能提出更多刑事指控。

如果这些检测结果呈阳性，警方表示将进行进一步的清点。与此同时，法医人员正在对扣押的马自达轿车进行检验。其损坏情况将与在佩卡森路（Phetkasem Road）发现的证据进行比对。监控录像和证人证词也将作为案件的证据。

另一方面，两名遇难者的后续处理工作仍在进行中。他们的遗体在考拉医疗中心接受了初步检查。之后，两人的遗体被送往普吉岛瓦奇拉医院进行详细尸检。相关部门也在与遇难者家属和德国大使馆进行协调。

这些死亡事件再次暴露了考拉地区涉及外国游客的行人交通事故频发的严峻记录。值得注意的是，周五发生的这起悲剧并非首例涉及德国游客的严重事故。2025年4月，另一对德国夫妇在考拉的一个十字路口被撞身亡。

早些时候，考拉发生一起车祸，一对德国父母在过马路时被撞，他们的幼儿幸免于难，未受重伤。

那起事故也发生在碧甲盛路。4月15日，34岁的菲利普·大卫·洛塔尔和32岁的琳达·劳布带着他们的幼儿在邦娘路过马路。这对德国父母当时正推着孩子过人行横道。

一辆车停下来让这家人先行。相比之下，一辆皮卡（用作双条车）继续从相邻车道驶入，撞上了正在过马路的这对父母。幸运的是，他们的幼儿没有受重伤。

事故发生后立即引发了当地旅游业的担忧。攀牙府旅游商业协会主席勒萨克·庞克林事后就此问题发表了讲话。他表示，类似的事故几乎每周都会在该路口发生。他还指出，尽管多次发出警告并召开会议，但问题始终未能得到解决。

然而，2025年4月的这起事故本身也打破了此前的记录。在周五这起双重死亡事故发生三年前，另一名欧洲游客在考拉斑马线上丧生。遇难者是53岁的法国公民让-伊夫·博纳雷尔。

2022年8月，博纳雷尔先生在达瓜巴县库克哈克过马路时，被一辆汽车撞倒。当时他正在使用斑马线。事故导致他身受重伤，在送往医院途中不幸身亡。

继此前游客过境死亡事件发生后，官员们再次对考拉道路安全问题进行调查。

此外，2025年4月，另一名法国游客在北碧府的人行横道上被撞身亡。死者40岁，当时他正在过马路。这起事故使泰国行人过马路死亡人数又增加了一名外国游客。

然而，周五发生的这起死亡事件与此前考拉发生的交通事故有着尤为明显的关联。该度假胜地曾多次发生涉及外国行人的严重交通事故。其中两起事故涉及德国游客，另一起事故导致一名法国游客丧生。

更直接的是，就在攀牙府官员再次讨论行人安全问题几天后，又发生了这起死亡事件。此前，官员们于9月29日召开会议，讨论涉​​及外国游客的交通事故。人行横道和交通信号灯等问题也是讨论的重点。

作为会谈的一部分，官员们考虑了保护游客穿越佩卡森公路的措施。三天后，施维尔斯先生和古尔登女士在另一个有交通管制的路口被撞。这一次，两名游客不幸身亡。

警方称，监控录像记录了整个过程。当时，那对德国夫妇已经横穿马路走向路边，一辆马自达皮卡车随即驶近。据调查人员称，当时马自达皮卡车前方的信号灯是红灯，但它仍然继续向前行驶。

考拉地区外发生的致命车祸，监控录像、红灯信号和司机离店情况成为调查焦点。

事故发生在库克哈克村7号村的兰花考拉酒店外。该地点位于南通旅游区内。佩卡森路两侧遍布酒店、餐厅和商铺。因此，游客在度假村内活动时经常需要横穿公路。

与此同时，碧甲盛路是贯穿攀牙府的一条主要南北向公路。因此，过境车辆会直接穿过考拉的旅游区。周五发生的事故就发生在这些车流交汇的行人过街处。

然而，对警方而言，刑事案件的重点仍然在于证据。监控录像显示，那辆马自达轿车驶近人行横道。调查人员称，录像还显示了红灯。几秒钟后，这辆皮卡撞上了两名德国人。

警方称，撞击发生后，车辆继续向泰孟方向驶去。司机没有留在重伤夫妇身边，也没有立即联系警方。因此，调查人员不得不开始搜寻肇事车辆。

然而，几个小时之内，监控录像和目击者证词就缩小了搜索范围。警方锁定了那辆马自达轿车，并追踪了它的行踪。他们还确定了嫌疑人的身份。到周六下午，他已被押送至考拉警察局。

警方正在检查受损的马自达汽车和毒理学检测结果，此前考拉路口发生的交通事故再次成为关注焦点。

车辆本身现在已成为重要的物证。警方已扣押该车，并正在检查受损的前部。调查人员还从路面上收集了一些物证。此外，还有证人证词和多段监控录像可供查阅。

毒理学检测结果尚未出炉。同时，普吉岛仍在进行详细的尸检。这些结果将被纳入调查档案。如果警方证实死者与酒精或毒品有关，可能会提出进一步的指控。

周五的这起案件与之前几起十字路口碰撞事故有一个关键区别。警方称，马自达轿车到达十字路口之前，交通信号灯已经是红灯。此外，调查人员指控肇事司机在撞击后弃车逃逸，没有带走两名受害者。

2025年4月发生在德国的这起家庭车祸事件经过有所不同。当时，一辆车停下来让行人先行。然而，相邻车道上的另一辆车却继续向前行驶，撞上了这对父母。他们的幼儿幸存了下来。

那次事故发生后，当地旅游协会公开提出了类似事件频繁发生的问题。勒萨克先生表示，该路口几乎每周都会发生事故。他说，此前已经发出过警告并召开过多次会议。

一对德国夫妇成为最新一起跨境死亡事故的受害者，肇事司机承认了最初的三项指控。

此前，2022年博纳雷尔先生的死亡已经树立了一个致命的先例。这位法国游客在同一考拉区过斑马线时被撞，后因伤势过重不治身亡。

施维尔斯先生和古尔登女士成为考拉人行横道事故中最新遇难的外国游客。他们于9月30日抵达考拉度假，预订的假期至10月9日结束。

然而，周五晚间的事故最终以两人在碧甲盛路身受重伤而告终。急救人员迅速将他们送往医院，但两人均不幸身亡。他们的遗体随后被运往普吉岛进行法医鉴定。

据警方称，嫌疑司机最初逃离了现场。不到一天后，他驾驶着马自达轿车投案自首。此后，他承认了最初的三项指控。

目前，调查人员正在等待剩余的实验室检测结果。警方也在完成对涉事车辆和监控录像证据的勘查。与此同时，大使馆和家属仍在处理两名受害者的相关事宜。

德国夫妇在闯红灯路口被撞身亡，警方主要依据监控录像、受损的马自达汽车和嫌疑人的供述展开调查。

这起刑事案件的依据是迅速收集到的证据链，包括监控录像、证人证词、受损的马自达汽车以及从路面上搜集到的证据。警方还掌握了司机对最初指控的供述。

最重要的是，调查人员表示，监控录像记录下了决定性的瞬间。这对德国夫妇当时正从中央隔离带走向路边。马自达轿车驶近人行横道时，信号灯显示为红色。

据警方称，肇事车辆并未停车，而是继续驶入人行横道，撞倒了两名游客。威尔伯特·施维尔斯和加布里埃拉·古尔登被紧急送往医院，伤势严重。

两人随后不久相继去世。
