CCTV Footage Reveals Moment Freight Train Collides with Bus Before Fire Erupts, Killing 8 and Injuring 32
CCTV footage captured a freight train striking a Bangkok bus and multiple vehicles at a railway crossing on May 16, igniting a fire that killed 8 people and injured 32 others near Makkasan station.
Security camera footage has captured the moment a freight train struck an air-conditioned bus, numbered 12-5641 Bangkok, along with several cars and motorcycles at a railway crossing between Khlong Tan and Makkasan stations (at the Asok-Din Daeng intersection level crossing) on May 16, 2569. The collision resulted in a fire that killed 8 people and injured approximately 32 others.
The CCTV footage from the area captured the moment of impact. The footage reveals that traffic was heavily congested at the time, with multiple buses and vehicles parked across the railway tracks. The freight train arrived at precisely the same moment, colliding with the bus, cars, and motorcycles, which triggered the fire.
Related reports indicate 8 deaths in the freight train-bus collision at the Airport Link Makkasan station, with officials searching for missing persons. Dashcam footage also captured the tragic moment before the fire spread, with 10 injured and 6 confirmed dead. Additional footage from another angle shows the bus was stopped across the railway tracks with the crossing barrier not fully lowered.
