Bus to Suvarnabhumi bursts into flame, passengers run for life

A bus heading to Suvarnabhumi Airport burst into flames this morning on a highway to the airport as passengers fled the bus just in time.

Rattana Jenraksa, the bus driver, said he saw smoke coming out of the engine, so he pulled the vehicle to the roadside and told all 20 passengers to exit at about 7:30am today.

Right after the passengers were safe, the flames started and spreaded through the entire vehicle.

Firefighters took 20 minutes to put out the fire. The bus was completely destroyed.

Authorities are investigating the cause of the fire, Thairath reported.
