BANGKOK, April 2 (Xinhua) -- Two men and four women were killed and a girl was severely injured when an oil tanker train crashed into a pick-up truck at a train crossing in Thailand's eastern province of Rayong Wednesday afternoon.

The accident happened at 1:20 pm (0620 GMT) in the province's Mabtapud district, according to the website of The Nation's newspaper.

The pick-up truck was crossing the road and was crashed into by the speeding train.

Five died at the scene and a woman died on her way to hospital.

I'm glad to see the forum name change. So, the first post in the newly named forum is a death story. The roads in Mataput are not properly maintained and very dangerous. I hit a bad patch of asphalt/sand on my motorbike and slid out. I'm lucky, only got a broken leg. I'm sure the rail crossing was also unsafe. Life is cheap in Thailand.

Life is cheap in Thailand.

Life can be cheap anywhere, it just depends on what value you decide to put on it.

Rest in Peace
