BANGKOK: A devastating fire on a Thai school bus killed at least 23 people, police said on Tuesday after rescuers pulled children´s bodies from the charred wreckage of the vehicle.
The inferno engulfed the coach on a highway in a northern Bangkok suburb as it carried 38 children -- ranging from kindergarten age to young teenagers -- and six teachers on a school trip.
It is believed to be the deadliest road accident in a decade in Thailand, which has one of the world´s worst traffic safety records with around 20,000 fatalities a year.
“We found 23 bodies inside the bus,” Trairong Phiwpan, head of the police forensic science office, told reporters.
