Thailand Crane Collapse: Good Morning Britain Interrupts Show with Breaking News (2026)

Good Morning Britain's Ranvir Singh, alongside hosts Susanna Reid and Ed Balls, delivered a shocking update on the air today (Wednesday, 14 January 2026). A deadly incident in Thailand has claimed the lives of over 22 people, with a one-year-old child among the dozens wounded, making it the youngest victim. The eldest passenger affected is 59. Over 80 individuals suffered injuries, with 55 receiving medical care at Sikhio hospital. Six critically injured patients were moved to alternative medical facilities for specialist treatment. Train crew member Thirasak Wongsoongnern described how the three-carriage train's front section escaped damage, but the rear two carriages were hit. The train was moving at approximately 120km/h at the moment of the accident. When the crane fell, it had been lifting a large concrete segment and dropped the load on the train, causing Wongsoongnern and other passengers to be thrown into the air. He said he tried to help other passengers but was unable to reach the second carriage as it was on fire. A local resident, Mitr Intrpanya, told AFP news agency that he heard a loud noise and then two explosions. 'When I went to see what had happened, I found the crane sitting on a passenger train with three carriages. The metal from the crane appeared to strike the middle of the second carriage, slicing it in half,' he said. Good Morning Britain airs weekdays from 6am on ITV1 and ITVX.
