The driver of the freight train that hit a passenger bus and other vehicles on a congested Bangkok level crossing on Saturday tested positive for drug abuse and did not have a rail transport licence, according to the rail transport chief.
Pichet Kunadhamraks, director-general of the Department of Rail Transport, posted the allegation online on Sunday night. He said police reported that Sayomporn Sornkul, driver of the train, had a urine test that returned positive for drug abuse.
