PHUKET: A woman travelling home from Phuket was killed late last night when a scheduled bus ran off the road and flipped over in the neighboring province of Krabi.
Mareena Samaae, 26, died at the scene of the crash at Petchakasem, near Ao Luek, about 10.45pm, said local police officer Captain Prasarn Kongkaew.
''Twenty-five of the 50 people on board were taken for treatment at hospital,'' Captain Prasarn said. ''Six were admitted with serious injuries.''
Khun Mareena was a nurse who lived in Narathiwat, where the bus was heading.
The bus belonged to Phuket-based Sritrang bus company. The driver told police it was raining heavily at the time he lost control and slid off the road surface.

'The driver told police it was raining heavily at the time he lost control and slid off the road surface.' Yet again driving too fast for the conditions- fortunate he didn't run away. Another needless loss of life in the name of careless driving.
