A construction crane has collapsed onto a moving train in Thailand, killing at least 29 people and injuring dozens more.
The accident happened on Wednesday morning in the Sikhio district of Nakhon Ratchasima province, 143 miles north-east of Bangkok, on a train from the capital bound for Ubon Ratchathani province.
Police told Reuters there were more bodies in the wreckage that had yet to be retrieved.
Emergency workers attempting to retrieve bodies from the wreckage had to pull back as the crane started shifting, Police Colonel Thatchapon Chinnawong said.
Transport Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn said there were 195 passengers on board and he had ordered a thorough investigation to be carried out.
Those killed were in two of three carriages hit by the crane, he said.
The crane was working on a high-speed rail project when it collapsed and hit the passing train, causing it to derail and briefly catch fire.
Images shared by the ministry showed carriages overturned next to shrubland and firefighters extinguishing a blaze as smoke billowed out.
The elevated high-speed rail line, one of several under construction in Thailand, was being built above the existing rail line.
