Emergency teams rushed to the scene to rescue passengers trapped inside the damaged train, which was travelling from Bangkok to Ubon Ratchathani with nearly 200 people onboard. Witnesses described hearing a loud crash followed by explosions as metal from the crane tore through one of the carriages. Authorities later suspended rescue efforts temporarily due to concerns over chemical leakage at the site.
Officials have launched an investigation to determine what caused the crane to collapse. The accident occurred at a site linked to a multi-billion-dollar rail project backed by China, part of the Belt and Road Initiative aimed at improving regional connectivity. The incident has once again raised concerns over construction safety standards in Thailand, where industrial accidents remain a recurring issue.
