State Railway of Thailand says Makkasan rider entered rail zone before being grazed by train

OAKLAND, California, May 19 (Reuters) - OpenAI Chief Executive Sam Altman beat ⁠Elon Musk in federal court on Monday, but the win came at the cost of hearing his former colleagues call him a liar - repeatedly - under oath.

BANGKOK: The State Railway of Thailand has clarified that a suburban train was operating normally when it grazed a food delivery rider near Makkasan , saying the man had climbed over a barrier into a restricted railway area shortly before the accident.

A source from the State Railway of Thailand said the clarification followed media and social media reports about suburban train No 367, operating on the Bangkok-Chachoengsao route, grazing a person near telegraph pole 6/3–4 between Makkasan and Khlong Tan stations, shortly before reaching Asok halt. The SRT said it wanted to prevent any misunderstanding that the “train ran into a person”, stressing that the train was running normally on its designated track.

According to the SRT, the accident was not caused by an error in train operations. The agency said the injured man had ridden a motorcycle and parked it by the roadside before climbing over a barrier separating the road from the railway zone. He then entered the railway area and stood there to urinate, close to the approaching train. - The Nation/ANN
