Night Hunter Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 A tourist bus hit by a train in Nakhon Pathom in Thailand Sunday, leaving 30 injured and three people dead. The impact occurred as the double-decker bus was slowly crossing the tracks and a speeding train crashed into it, causing the bus to spin out of control. The video shows the impact from two separate camera angles, revealing the intensity of the crash. The bus was taking a group of workers from a factory west of Bangkok to the island of Koh Samui for a holiday, according to a local police officer. The three dead were Thai nationals. Road accidents are a common in Thailand. A study by University of Michigan ranked Thailand’s roads as the second most dangerous in the world.

Leader RedBaird Posted April 3, 2016 Leader Share Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) from the RT.com source: "The bus was taking a group of workers from a factory west of Bangkok to the island of Koh Samui for a holiday, according to a local police officer. The three dead were Thai nationals." About the last video (dash-cam timestamped August 2011), from the Bangkok Post, dated 21 March 2016 http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/general/904268/driver-faces-new-charges "Police will press three more charges against the driver of the Mercedes-Benz who killed two post-graduate students in a high-speed crash in Ayutthaya last Sunday." [that 'last Sunday' is misleading] "Police agreed they will charge Mr Janepob with drink-driving causing death and driving while unfit." "A police source said if a driver refuses to take a test for alcohol, he or she is presumed to have been drinking." "The speeding charge against the young heir was dropped in 2013 because the one-year statute of limitations on it expired." "He is wanted on two other charges of reckless driving causing death and failing to stop his car to help a victim."
