Police have summoned a train driver for information regarding the death of a Chulalongkorn freshman run over by the Bangkok-Phu Ta Luang train near Bangkok's Kamphaeng Phetch 7 Road on Monday night.
Witnesses told police that Budriyah Usin-ngam, 18, was walking along the tracks from the Airport Link station when the train behind her sounded its horn. She was wearing earphones and failed to hear the warning. The train caught her purse strap and dragged her for five metres and ran over her, they said.
Meanwhile, Sombat Pongnam, 43, was fatally injured yesterday after falling from a train at Uthumporn Pisai station in Si Sa Ket. Sombat was selling energy drinks to passengers. She was taken to hospital, and pronounced dead.
