A reckless driving incident involving a baht bus and a regular public bus resulted in multiple injuries in the Min Buri district, Bangkok.

 

The collision occurred at around 11am this morning, on the inbound lane near Soi Ramkhamhaeng 203/1. The baht bus, a Hilux Vigo with a yellow registration plate, was severely damaged. Ten passengers suffered injuries, seven women and three men, including a young boy.

 

The baht bus, operating on route 99 between Fashion Island and Romklao, had its roof collapsed and the windshield shattered. The front of the vehicle was lifted onto the footpath’s kerb, with injured passengers inside. In contrast, the regular bus, a blue Nex-Minibus on route 113 from Min Buri to Hua Lamphong, featuring the number 1-44 (32) and a yellow registration plate, had its front glass partially broken.
