Firstpost  

Bangkok: Eleven people, including two children, burned to death in a passenger van crash in central Thailand over the Lunar New Year holiday, police said Monday. The van carrying 12 people was travelling from northeastern Amnat Charoen province to Bangkok when it veered off the highway in central Nakhon Ratchasima province Saturday night, said Police Colonel Yingyos Poldej. “After the crash, the fire started engulfing the whole van starting from the back.” “I started kicking the windows and managed to crawl through a small hole,” he said. The van then exploded three to four times.” Yingyos, the police colonel, said the van used both fuel and compressed gas but initial reports found the gas tank had not leaked.
