A SHUTTLE bus carrying Indian students from Suvarnabhumi Airport to Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) slammed into a power pole and a tree on Phahonyothin road at 11.08 a.m. today (June 2) injuring 11 passengers, two critically, Amarin TV said.
There were approximately 45 people on the bus, including the students and their tour guides, with the big vehicle driving normally on this road till it reached the bridge over a canal at Kapo intersection (Saphan Mai) where its brakes failed.
The driver tried to control the vehicle before reaching Kapo intersection where a sedan had stopped at a red light.
To avoid hitting the sedan he swerved left and hit an electric pole and a tree leading to damage and injuries.
The driver confirmed that there was no gas leakage because the bus was running on petrol.
Police then closed the left lane while waiting to move the bus from the road with all those who got injured quickly sent to hospital.
