BANGKOK — Passengers waiting for a night bus at Lampang bus station were injured when a bus suddenly burst from the platform into the waiting area.
Five people were slightly injured and later later released from hospital after bus driver Ponthep Kaewsonthi, 49, reportedly released the wrong brake, causing his bus to lurch forward and send passengers scrambling out of the way.
“No drugs or alcohol were found, as we took the driver for a test,” said police Maj. Kamol Kidaan. “However he will be charged for reckless driving.”
