Following an investigation into the catastrophic incident, police and immigration officials detained David Robert Herbst, 25, on Koh Phi Phi in the southern province of Krabi.
A food barn operator in the tambon Karon reported the incident around 7pm on Tuesday, who was called in by a foreign regional witnessing the collision. The visitor provided a video of the incident, which the barn controller next shared with the government.
