[Cause of Train-Bus Collision in Thailand Announced] On the afternoon of the 16th local time, a train collided with a bus near the Makasang Station on the Airport Rail Link in Bangkok, Thailand. Thai Deputy Transport Minister Siripong explained in an interview that the accident occurred when a train collided with a bus. At the time of the incident, the bus was stopped on the railway tracks due to a red light, causing the railway crossing barriers to fail to lower properly. Simultaneously, because the train was carrying heavy container cars, its braking distance was too long, preventing it from stopping in time and ultimately leading to the accident.
