School bus catches fire in Thailand with 44 people on board

Transport Minister Suriya Juangroongruangkit reported that 16 kids and three professors had been treated in a hospital, adding that the circumstances surrounding the incident were still being looked into.

First photos of the vehicle, some of which were still on, were dark and were later published on social press and carried by local media outlets.

The flame was afterward extinguished. A Reuters artist saw&nbsp, fire&nbsp, vehicles, authorities and rescue automobiles parked around the blackened car, with a swarm of&nbsp, firefighters at the doorway.

The kids were on a field trip from Uthai Thani, which is 250 kilometers northwest of the money, according to Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra.

” As a mom, I would like to express my deepest condolences to the families”, she said in a social media post on X, without providing details.
