Angry crowd burns police station in Phuket, Thailand's popular tourist destination

An angry mob fire-bombed and stoned a police station on the Thai island of Phuket overnight on Saturday and set vehicles alight, following the deaths of two young men whose motorbike was involved in a collision with a police car. The rioters, numbering more than 100 people, blocked roads and refused to let fire engines through, according to Thai media. The fatal crash happened late on Saturday morning. Quoting police, Thai media reported that the men sped through a checkpoint in what they described as a "suspicious manner", prompting them to give chase in a pick-up truck.
