BANGKOK (BNO NEWS) -- Seven people were killed on early Sunday morning when a passenger bus overturned during heavy rains in northern Thailand, local media reported. Nearly two dozen others were injured.

The accident happened near the town of Ban Mae Tia in the Thoeng district of Lampang province when a Transport Company bus skidded off the road and overturned. The vehicle was coming from Lampang city and was en-route to Khon Kaen province.

According to the Bangkok Post, two men and three women died at the scene of the accident while two more died at a local hospital. Twenty others were injured and taken to hospitals in Thoen and Sop Prap. Two of them were seriously injured.

It was not immediately known what caused the accident, but reports said the accident happened during heavy rainfall on a slippery road. Police are investigating the deadly accident.

Floods across Thailand in recent months have claimed nearly 200 lives and affected millions more.
