A train derailed in northeastern Thailand after a construction crane fell on three of its carriages, killing at least 25 people and injuring about 80.
The accident took place on Wednesday morning in the Sikhio district of Nakhon Ratchasima province, on a train from the capital bound for Ubon Ratchathani province.
Transport Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn said in a statement that there were 195 people on board, adding that he had ordered a thorough investigation to be carried out.
The crane was working on a high-speed rail project when it collapsed and hit the passing train, causing it to derail and briefly catch fire.
