The heir to the Red Bull brand has been absolved of charges stemming from his involvement in a hit-and-run that killed a police officer in the Southeast Asian nation.
In September 2012, Vorayuth “Boss” Yoovidhya, whose grandfather was the co-founder of energy drink Red Bull, slammed his Ferrari into Thai motorcycle police officer Sgt. Maj. Wichean Glanprasert, killing the officer before fleeing the scene. On Thursday, authorities with the Royal Thai police informed Yoovidhya that charges of drunk driving, negligent death, and committing a hit-and-run were being dropped.
