Woman struck and killed by train in Southern Thailand

A tragic incident unfolded in the Hat Yai district, Songkhla, when a 40 year old woman, was struck and killed by a local train near the Tha Sae railway bridge, about 2 kilometres from the Hat Yai railway junction. The incident occurred at around 8.25am.

The Hat Yai police, led by Lieutenant Colonel Nimman Nikuno, reported that the woman was found dead on the scene, her body lying next to the rail track bearing head injuries.

Evidence suggests that she was hit by local train 463, which navigates the Phatthlung-Sungai Kolok route. Despite the severity of the impact, her personal belongings, including her mobile phone and purse, remained with her.

The train briefly halted at the accident site before continuing its journey towards Hat Yai railway junction.
