A driver was injured when his car was hit by a train in Songkhla's Hat Yai district on Wednesday morning.

 

The Bangkok-Padang Bezar train hit the car at a rail crossing in Ban Lop Moom in Tambon Patong.

 

The car driver, Aeb Meekaew, was severely injured and taken to Hat Yai Hospital.

 

The train driver, Thira Benso, 58, told police that he saw the car breach the rail crossing and stop while his train was approaching. He used the horn but the car did not move. Thira said he tried to stop the train.

 

The train was only slightly damaged and proceeded after the accident.

So pleased the train driver and the passengers were not injured. Couldn't give a rat's about the car driver. Thailand's snails pace trains need a bigger and louder idiot proof horn.

Heaven forbid when the high speed trains arrive; which they won't.

He blew the horn! Try the whistle next time. Actually most of them don't work too well.

There doesn't seem to be two train whistles the same, in this country, except when the same train is on the way back. 

Actually the horns of Thai trains work quiet well and are very loud, but people are ignoring them. Saw once an old lady in Salaya walking along the tracks, the driver blew the horn like mad - deafening - but the old lady went on her way and got smashed. The horns aren't the problem..
