BANGKOK — The collapse of a highway construction crane killed two people near Bangkok today, with a Thai minister saying the building firm was also involved in a crane failure the day before that left 32 dead.

Car dashcam footage verified by AFP showed the moment the massive crane fell today, unleashing clouds of dust as well as rubble across the area as several vehicles pulled over or reversed to avoid falling debris.

Motorcycle-taxi driver Booncherd La-orium said he no longer felt safe driving in the suburb outside Bangkok.

“I had goosebumps just thinking about how risky it is to be here. It could have happened to me,” the 69-year-old told AFP.

“I still can’t get over yesterday’s incident, and this morning I heard another one happened again.”

Transport Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn linked firm Italian-Thai Development to the country’s second deadly crane collapse in two days, according to local media.

The company was contracted to build a section of a China-backed high-speed rail project where another huge crane fell yesterday, in Nakhon Ratchasima province, derailing a passenger train below and killing 32 of nearly 200 people on board.

“Yes, it is Italian-Thai. I still do not understand what happened,” Phiphat told local media today.

“We have to find out the facts, whether it was an accident or something else,” he said, adding that two people were killed.

The company — one of Thailand’s biggest construction firms — has seen several deadly accidents at its sites in recent years.

The crane that fell today morning at the under-construction Rama II Expressway in Samut Sakhon province, outside Bangkok, left two people dead, local police chief Sitthiporn Kasi told AFP from the scene.
