The mother of 15-year-old Thai-Swedish football hopeful Tommy Boulanger is seeking justice seven months after a crash near Pattaya, the South China Morning Post reports. She alleges police have not carried out an arrest warrant for the suspected driver, a Chinese national, after her son died following the collision.

The mother of a 15-year-old Thai-Swedish teenager who died after a road crash near Pattaya has appealed for justice, the South China Morning Post reports. Tommy Boulanger, described as an aspiring footballer, was involved in the crash on February 20 in the Nongpure district of Chonburi. The report says he was left in a coma after his motorbike collided with a truck that was allegedly reversing illegally into oncoming traffic.

He never regained consciousness, according to the supplied material. Seven months after the crash, his mother is accusing police of failing to execute an arrest warrant for the alleged driver, who is identified as a Chinese national. The mother’s appeal centres on the continued absence of an arrest in the case.

The available report does not state whether the suspected driver has been located, whether charges have been filed or what explanation police have given for the delay. It also does not provide further details about the warrant, the investigation or any court proceedings. The allegations about the driving and police handling are attributed to the report and the family’s account.
