A train and a bus collided in Bangkok, Thailand on Saturday afternoon, killing eight people, local media reported.

More than 20 people were injured, local media reported, as rescuers rushed to the scene to put out the blaze and pull victims from the wreckage.
Deputy Minister of Transport Siripong Angkasakulkiat told Thai media that the bus had stopped at the railway crossing due to a red light, preventing the railway barrier from lowering. The freight train was too heavy to brake in time, leading to the collision.
