Major General Siam Boonsom, co-interrogation officer, 21-year-old Siribhumi, mechanic, or assistant train driver.

Six hours of interrogation, a Makkason police officer detained Mr. Siriphum for substance abuse at the hospital.

There is a news report that according to questioning, Mr. Siriphum testified to the interrogator, claiming that before the 500-meter incident, a bus was seen blocking the track as a billboard until it reached a distance of 300 meters, and saw a transmitter, and the driver of the train pulled the brakes on both people at a speed of 35 to 40 km / h, and did not hear radio communications, nor did he see a red flag waving.

For Mr. Siriphum, who helped the driver of the train, just graduated from the railway school and started an internship for about a month. The main job is to count the bogies on the train. Normally, Mr. Siriphum's job is to take care of only the bogies in the back, but if it is relevant to help see the signs for the driver of the train, it may also be involved in a negligence case.

Today (May 19), experts of the Central Railway will be invited to inquire into the issue of whether Mr. Siriphum's position is related to the driver of the train or to the engine room only.
