STORY: Rescuers worked to extricate people after a train derailed in northeastern Thailand on Wednesday (January 14) caused by a construction crane falling onto three carriages, leaving at least 19 dead and about 80 injured, according to police.

The accident took place on Wednesday morning in the Sikhio district of Nakhon Ratchasima province, 230 km (143 miles) northeast of Bangkok, on a train from the capital bound for Ubon Ratchathani province.

In a video released by the Promthamma Sathan Songkhro Foundation, rescuer workers were seen on scene, working to extract passengers from the mangled train carriages. Several survivors were carried on stretchers to waiting ambulances for medical treatment.

Local police told Reuters there were more bodies in the wreckage that had yet to be retrieved.

The crane was working on a high-speed rail project when it collapsed and hit the passing train, causing it to derail and briefly catch fire.
