A 40-year-old woman was killed by a train in Ratchathewi in Bangkok yesterday during the morning rush hour - a tragedy which lead to traffic jams at the Yommarat Intersection and the delay of some trains.
Scavenger Sirirak Penglao reportedly appeared absent-minded while walking across the rail line near Yommarat Station.
Witnesses told police that she walked on, despite several horn blasts from a Chachoengsao-Bangkok train that was heading towards her and hit her. She died instantly.
