On Saturday night, the roof of Bangkok’s electric bus number 38 caught fire after it scratched the bottom of an overhead bridge at Pratunam crossroads in Ratchathewi district.
The bus was on its last route of the day, from Ramkhamhaeng University 2 to Victory Monument, and there were no passengers on board. According to authorities, the bus collided with the overpass while attempting to avoid a car parked to the left of Phetchaburi Road. It took firefighters around 30 minutes to extinguish the flames on the bus’s roof. The car was later removed, and the bus driver was charged with reckless driving.
