A crane collapse at a construction site near Bangkok has killed two people and injured five others on Thursday, Thai police said, a day after a separate crane accident derailed a train in northeastern Thailand, killing dozens.
The latest incident occurred in Samut Sakhon province, west of the capital, where a crane being used to build an elevated highway fell onto a road below, crushing two vehicles, according to Police Colonel Sitthiporn Kasi, superintendent of the local district police station.
Another police official said five people were injured and taken to hospital. The cause of the collapse was not immediately clear.
The accident follows a deadly incident on Wednesday in Nakhon Ratchasima province, where a crane involved in the construction of an elevated high-speed rail project collapsed onto railway tracks, derailing a passenger train.
Authorities said 32 people were killed and 66 others injured among the 195 passengers on board. An investigation into that incident is under way.
The two crashes have renewed attention on construction safety in Thailand, where large infrastructure projects have been linked to a series of fatal accidents in recent years.
