New footage reveals moments before tragedy: bus stalled on railroad tracks as crossing barriers fail to lower
Dashcam footage shows a bus stalled on railroad tracks as crossing barriers failed to lower, moments before a train collision in Bangkok killed at least 8 people and injured 10 others on May 16.
Makkasan police received a report at 4:00 PM on May 16, 2025 of a train collision with air-conditioned bus line 206 (blue, registration 12-5641 Bangkok), along with multiple cars and motorcycles, causing a fire. Initial reports confirm at least 10 injuries and 8 deaths, with bodies found on the bus. Dashcam footage from a nearby parked vehicle shows the bus positioned directly on the railroad tracks as the train approached. The crossing barriers had no warning lights and failed to lower to block the passage.
