At least 22 people were killed after a construction crane fell on a passenger train in northeastern Thailand on Wednesday.
The crane, which was being used to construct an elevated highspeed railway, fell onto the running train, which was traveling from Bangkok to Ubon Ratchathani province. This caused the train, carrying 195 passengers, to get derailed and caught fire, according to Nakhon Ratchasima's Public Relations Department.
The department said in a Facebook post that the fire was under control and that rescuers were searching for people trapped inside the train.
Thailand’s Transport Minister Piphat Ratchakitprakan confirmed the incident, adding that investigation is going on in this regard.
