According to local media such as Channel 7 and Tairas, a second-floor tour bus carrying 60 people hit the back of a large truck on the road in Prachin Buri, Thailand, at around 1:30 a.m. on the 21st. The accident bus was running from Nongkai to Rayongju.
Before the accident, the bus reportedly lost control while passing through a steep downhill curve.
The shaking bus hit the rear of the truck after about 2km of driving and caused a series of collisions with two other trucks.
53 passengers succeeded in escaping before the fire spread after the accident. Most of them are receiving hospital treatment due to accidental shock.
However, the bus driver and assistant died on the spot due to the impact of the accident, and some passengers were also killed in the fire as they could not escape due to injuries.
So far, seven people have died, including children.
Passengers claimed that the bus was running at a normal speed of 80 to 100 kilometers per hour when the braking system caused problems in the downhill section and failed to slow down.
Police are investigating to determine the exact cause of the accident.
