On Saturday morning, a 16-year-old girl was killed and her brother, 19, injured when their car was struck by a train at an unmanned railway crossing in Chumphon provincial, southern Thailand.

When police arrived at the scene, they found a badly damaged Honda CR-V near the railway tracks. Two people were injured and rushed to a hospital but the 16-year-old girl was later pronounced dead at the hospital.

Thai media identified the deceased victim as Piyamat Nilsuk, 16, and the injured driver as her older brother Payungsak Nilsuk, 19.

According to a preliminary police investigation, a local train on the Chumphon-Hat Yai route had left the Lang Suan railway station a few minutes before the crash occurred.

The conductor said the car approached the crossing, and he sounded the train’s horn and tried to apply the brakes but was unable to stop in time.

After the crash, the car overturned several times before landing on its side. No damage was done to the train, so it continued its journey.

Police said the railway crossing had no barriers, but there was a crossing signpost.
According to the family, Mr. Payungsak was reportedly giving his sister a driving lesson at the time of the accident.
