At that time, according to him, there were actually three buses that departed in groups carrying plastic shop employees in Ketanon Village.

The first bus which was also full of passengers managed to pass safely. However, it was the turn of the second bus, at the same time the Rapih Dhoho train was traveling at a moderate speed.

The bus tried to move quickly. However, because the distance was close, the back of the tour bus was hit by a train locomotive. There was a loud impact that caused the bus body to bounce.

A similar condition was experienced by a train locomotive, causing the front to be crushed and unable to move.
