The Makkasan Police are investigating to determine the exact cause of the collision. Witnesses reported the rider may not have heard the train due to wearing earphones and a helmet. The State Railway of Thailand (SRT) attributed the incident to the rider's reckless behavior, as he parked in a prohibited zone and crossed a barrier to urinate.

SRT stated the train driver did sound the horn, but the train couldn't stop in time. Officials urged the public to stay away from restricted areas, as the incident delayed the train by over 22 minutes, inconveniencing passengers. This accident garnered attention as it occurred near a recent train-bus crash, sparking discussions on safety compliance.

The previous collision involved a train and a public bus, where the bus was trapped at a crossing. Despite ongoing safety appeals, images of motorists ignoring railway crossing rules continue to surface, prompting authorities to emphasize adherence to crossing regulations.
