A devastating bus crash in Thailand early Wednesday morning has left 17 government workers dead and 40 others injured after the vehicle lost control on a steep downhill curve in Prachinburi province.
A tragic bus crash in Thailand has claimed the lives of at least 17 government workers and left 40 others injured. The accident occurred early Wednesday morning, February 26, as the coach was transporting officials on a study trip from Bueng Kan, located in northern Thailand, to Rayong, about 520 miles away.
The incident took place around 3 a.m. in Prachinburi province, when the bus lost control on a steep downhill curve. Witnesses at the scene saw the bus overturned, with rescue teams and paramedics working frantically to tend to the injured. Disturbing footage from the crash site shows the vehicle on its side, with bodies covered in white sheets laid on the ground.
Lieutenant Colonel Siwaphat Phuriphatchaibunchu reported that officers arrived to find the bus with its roof "completely torn off." Traffic was shut down in both directions as authorities attended to the scene. The injured passengers were rushed to nearby hospitals for treatment.
The bus driver, who was also injured in the crash, claimed that the brakes failed, leading to the loss of control. He was treated at the scene but will be questioned further once discharged from the hospital.
Authorities have launched an investigation into the cause of the crash, with experts examining the wreckage of the vehicle for further clues.
