Phatthalung – A cargo train crashed into a passenger train parked at the provincial station here Friday night, hurling a carriage to hit another passenger train, train officials said.

The accident occurred at the Phatthalung station at 10:30 pm.
The engine of the cargo train broke down, causing the train to block the railway. When the Butterworth-Hat Yai-Bangkok train arrived, the train was parked at the station so that its engine was used to retrieve the cargo train to the station to stop blocking the railroad.

But when the cargo train was pulling to the station, it could not stop in time and hit into the Butterwort-Bangkok train.
