“The death toll we have so far is 17,” he said, adding that the accident occurred around 8 am (0100 GMT). Provincial governor Maitree Tritilanond told reporters that so far about 29 people were injured. Early images by rescue workers showed gnarled metal and debris, with bodies lying by the train tracks and people’s belongings scattered. The bus was overturned on its side, the top of it ripped off, and rescue workers said a crane was needed to lift it. The number of casualties and injured is expected to rise. Such deadly accidents are common in Thailand, which regularly tops lists of the world’s most lethal roads, with speeding, drunk driving and weak law enforcement all contributing factors. According to a 2018 report by the World Health Organization, Thailand has the second-highest traffic fatality rate in the world.
