At least 22 people were killed and 64 injured in Thailand Wednesday after a construction crane fell on a passenger train, officials said.
The crane struck a moving train in Nakhon Ratchasima province as it traveled from Bangkok to Ubon Ratchathani, causing the train to derail and catch fire, according to the province’s Public Relations Department.
The department said in a Facebook post that the fire was under control and that officials were searching for people believed to be trapped inside the train.

Chinnawong added that those who were killed were in two of the three carriages struck by the crane.
