At least 29 people have been killed after a construction crane fell on top of a moving train in northeast Thailand.
Dozens more have been injured after the crane hit one of the carriages, causing the train to derail and briefly catch fire, police told Reuters news agency.
Transport minister Piphat Ratchakitprakan said there were 195 people on board the train, which was bound for Ubon Ratchathani province.
He said he has ordered an investigation into the accident, with rescue efforts ongoing.
The crane was being used in work on a high-speed rail project in the Sikhio district of Nakhon Ratchasima province, some 143 miles northeast of Bangkok.
