Police have determined that both the train driver and bus driver were negligent in a collision that left 8 people dead and 32 injured. At 8:30 p.m. on May 16, 2025, Deputy National Police Chief Siam Bunyasorn ordered Mukkaasan Police Station to investigate the train-bus collision with the high death toll on the Airport Link Makkasan railway crossing at Asok-Din Daeng Road, Bangkapi Sub-district, Huai Khwang District, Bangkok.

Investigators found the accident involved freight train No. 4531, originating from Laem Chabang and heading to Bang Sue, driven by Sayamporn Suankul, 46, and public bus No. 206 driven by Laphis Thongbun, 56. CCTV footage revealed that Laphis was driving the bus along Asok-Din Daeng Road from Rama IX intersection toward Petchburi-Asokan intersection in lane one of four lanes when he encountered the railway crossing. As the bus straddled the tracks, the train approached from the left and struck the left side of the bus, causing it to careen into parked vehicles nearby.

The collision caused property damage, injured 32 people, and killed 8 others. Investigators concluded both drivers were negligent and initially charged them both with reckless driving resulting in death. They were taken into custody at Makkasan Police Station for legal proceedings.

Celtic accelerated past Hearts of Midlothian in the final match of the season to capture their 56th Scottish Premier League title, surpassing Rangers' previous record of 55 championships. Heading into the match, Hearts of Midlothian led with 80 points, just one point ahead of Celtic. A draw would have made Hearts the first team in 41 years to win the league title outside of Rangers and Celtic, who have long shared supremacy.

In the final match, Hearts took an early lead through Lawrence Shankland's goal in the 43rd minute, bringing the prospect of making history closer by the minute. However, Celtic fought back decisively, scoring three consecutive goals from Arne Engels' penalty in the 45+4th minute, Daizen Maeda in the 87th minute, and Callum Osmond in the 90+8th minute.

By match's end, Celtic increased their points to 82 and claimed their 14th league title in the last 15 seasons, with only Rangers winning the championship in between during 2021. Hearts remained at 80 points, falling just short of capturing the crown. The last team outside these two powerhouses to win the championship dates back to the 1984-85 season when Aberdeen claimed the title during Sir Alex Ferguson's era.

A freight train collided with a bus near Suvarnabhumi Airport Railway Station, resulting in 8 deaths and approximately 25 injuries, with damage to 5 cars and 3 motorcycles. Dashboard and CCTV footage from moments before the crash shows multiple vehicles and a bus parked across the railroad tracks, which prevented the crossing gates from functioning and coincided with the train's arrival. Previously shared social media videos from the same location showed trains stopped while numerous vehicles were parked illegally on the tracks at a red light. The State Railway of Thailand's PR team emphasized that drivers must stop at least 5 meters before crossing railroad tracks and are strictly prohibited from parking on the tracks under the Land Traffic Act, Section 63. When railroad crossings lack warning signals or barriers, drivers must reduce speed and stop at least 5 meters away, only proceeding once it is safe to do so.
