A bus crashed and killed 18 people in Thailand on Wednesday after the brakes apparently failed as it went down a hill, police said, APA reports citing Thai media.
The vehicle was one of three double-decker buses carrying local government officials on a field trip when it veered off the road in Prachin Buri province, east of the capital Bangkok.
"There were 17 people found dead at the scene and one more later died in hospital," said Police Lieutenant Colonel Siwapass Phuripatchaiboonchu.
"We have questioned the driver and he said the brakes failed as the bus went down the hill."
