A brake system failure was to blame for a fatal bus accident in Khon Kaen that killed five people and injured 12 others on Tuesday.
The tragedy occurred about 12.30am on the Mittraphap Highway near Nong Kham in tambon Non Sombun when a Bangkok-bound double-decker bus with 33 people on board burst into flames.
Survivors told police a rear tyre burst and caught fire as the bus was passing Nong Kham. The fire spread to the engine compartment and the entire bus was soon engulfed in flames.
