A construction crane collapsed onto an elevated road near Bangkok, killing two people on Thursday, a day after another crane fell on a moving passenger train in northeastern Thailand and killed 32 people.

The work on an extension of the Rama 2 Road expressway — a major artery from Bangkok — has become notorious for construction accidents, some of them fatal.


The crane collapsed at part of the road project in Samut Sakhon province, trapping two vehicles in the wreckage and killing two people. 



It was unclear if anyone else had been trapped in the wreckage and there was uncertainty about the number of victims because the site is still considered too dangerous for search teams to enter.
