Bus crash kills drivers, 44 passengers hurt
The two drivers on a long-haul bus were killed and 44 passengers injured when it hit a steel support for a road sign in Muang district early Tuesday morning.

The double-decker, operated by Lotusphibul Tours, was on the way from Bung Kan to Bangkok.

The Hook 31 rescue foundation reported the accident happened in Muang district about 2am. The bus slammed into a steel leg supporting a sign showing destination directions.

Both the driver and relief driver were killed by the impact and 44 passengers were injured, 12 of them from Laos, the announcement said.

Police at Pho Klang said four injured passengers were in serious condition and were admitted to Maharat Nakhon Ratchasima Hospital. The others were treated for injuries and discharged.

Police said the bus had left Nakhon Ratchasima 2 bus terminal after a meal break, heading to Bangkok. It appeared the driver had lost control at a curve while descending to a bridge crossing the northeastern rail track.

Wow :shock: Could have been me last week..... A bus load of Nakhon Pathom supporters comes off the road on the way to Sukhothai. There are injuries, but not known how serious yet.
