Warrant for Red Bull heir

Thai authorities are to issue an arrest warrant for an heir of the creator of the drink Red Bull who failed to show up to hear charges against him in a fatal hit-and-run. Vorayuth Yoovidhya, 28 (pictured right), is accused of being behind the wheel of his Ferrari when it collided with a policeman in the early hours of September 3 last year. The Yoovidhyas, Thailand's fourth-richest family, paid the victim's family $US97,000 after the accident.
