(CNA, Bangkok, by reporter Li Zongxian, 17th) A train-bus collision occurred in Bangkok, Thailand yesterday, resulting in 8 deaths and 32 injuries. Police have filed charges of reckless driving causing death against both the bus and train drivers. The incident has sparked discussions about level crossing safety in Thailand, with some media outlets commenting that this accident was a disaster caused by systemic design flaws. A Thai train crashed into a bus in downtown Bangkok yesterday, also affecting several cars and motorcycles before catching fire. The major accident resulted in a total of 8 deaths and 32 injuries. The Bangkok Post reported today that Bangkok police have charged the bus and train drivers involved in the accident with reckless driving causing death. Witnesses indicated that the level crossing barrier was not down at the time of the incident. A preliminary investigation suggests that the barrier could not be lowered because a vehicle was occupying the crossing. By regulation, stopping is prohibited within 5 meters of a railway level crossing. Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul inspected the accident scene late last night and questioned why no railway staff had warned the train driver about the traffic jam at the crossing, stating that the section has always been very congested. A CNA reporter observed that at the accident site, it was common for drivers to force their way through after the barriers were lowered. Additionally, during peak hours, it was not uncommon to see cars and motorcycles temporarily stopped on the level crossing due to traffic flow. Thairath newspaper released a video on its official social media this afternoon, pointing out that a bus was still stopped on the level crossing at the accident site while waiting for a red light. It wrote, "Less than 24 hours after a major traffic accident, bus number 514 is still obstructing the tracks while waiting for a red light," and asked, "When will the lesson ever be learned?"
