    Truck driver killed in train crash in Surat Thani



    A pickup truck driver was killed when his truck was rammed by a Bangkok-Butterworth passenger train at a railroad crossing in Thacharng district of Surat Thani province shortly after midnight Thursday.

    Killed in the terrifying level crossing crash at 1.30 am was Mr Chalard Thongsom, 32, a resident of Surat Thani.

    The incident happened at the level crossing near Wat Amparam Thung-ao in Tambon Klongsai.

    Witnesses told police the Mitsubishi Triton pickup truck ran on the railway crossing just at the same time when the train approached.

    The truck was hit in the middle, throwing the driver out of his truck.

    He died on the spot near his badly damaged truck.

    The incident did not disrupt the train service as the Bangkok-Butterworth train No 35 was allowed to continue its journey to the South after rescue workers cleared the track and sent the dead to nearby police station awaiting identification by relatives.
