A Bus stop in front of Central World collapses injuring 4 Bangkokians on 11 September 2020. All 4 are now safe at the hospital. There has been an accident in front of a big mall in Pathum Wan, Bangkok City. The local Ruam Katanyu Rescue Team went to the location and helped rescue 4 victims. It is estimated that the cause of the accident came from rusty poles that were holding the bus stop roof in place. The poles couldn’t handle the weight anymore resulting in the collapse. Officials are still investigating to find the true cause of the accident.
