BBC on site after crane collapses on train in Thailand

A construction crane fell onto a moving train in north-eastern Thailand, killing at least 32 people and injuring 66 others.

The crane derailed the train and crushed some of its carriages, one of which caught fire. A one-year-old and an 85-year-old are among those injured, with seven people in critical condition, according to authorities.

BBC’s South East Asia correspondent, Jonathan Head, described the scene as “desperately grim” as he showed the damaged caused in the accident.

The State Railway of Thailand has launched an investigation into the incident and announced that it is taking legal action against the construction company responsible for the crane.
