Ex-Buddhist monk left unable to meditate sues crash driver
A former Buddhist monk who maintains he is unable to carry out sitting meditation following a fatal car accident has raised an action for damages of £250,000.
Sangthong Phensrisai was travelling to Edinburgh from London as a front seat passenger in a car with three monks in the rear of the vehicle when the driver lost control. The passengers in the back died.
Mr Phensrisai, 50, of Leith, Edinburgh, told the Court of Session that he fell asleep and came round in hospital where he was told about the accident.
