A 22-wheel truck was hit by a train at a railway crossing in Nakhon Si Thammarat on Sunday evening.

The accident happened about 6.10pm at the crossing, about 10 minutes after express train No 86 (Nakhon Si Thammarat - Bangkok) went past Phru Krachaeng railway station.

The train rammed into the middle of the trailer truck, which was carrying a backhoe on the back.

The impact sent the backhoe off the trailer and onto a Toyota pickup behind the truck. It was damaged but nobody inside was hurt. The train locomotive was slightly damaged.

Police said the safety bar at the railway crossing had been lowered and the red light signal was on.
