Dozens were killed in Thailand when a construction crane crashed into a train, causing it to derail and catch fire. Emergency crews treated multiple victims on-site and rushed others to hospitals, with officials warning the death toll could rise. The injured include a one-year-old child and an 85-year-old adult. Thailand's $5 billion high-speed rail project, part of China's Belt and Road Initiative, is under investigation as authorities clear the wreckage.
