A woman was hit by a bullet in front of her house as two men fired shots at her son-in-law's pickup truck, which had cut in front of them, in Nakhon Ratchasima on Thursday night.

Lonlada Thanitsawong, 58, was hit in the leg and rushed to a hospital.

Her son-in-law told police that while he was driving his pickup truck to Ms Lonlada's house two men on a motorcycle followed him, abusing him and claiming he had cut in front of their bike.

The two men followed him all the way to Ms Lonlada’s home, where she and other family members were eating in front of the house.

The bike following him had stopped about 150 metres past the house. He saw one of the men take something from under the seat and point it in his direction, then heard a gunshot. His mother-in-law was hit in the right leg by the bullet, he said.

The two men fled on the motorcycle.

Police said that they would track down the shooter and his accomplice.
