BANGKOK, May 21--- A woman was hit and killed by an oncoming train in downtown Bangkok on Monday morning as she crossed the Asok-Phetchaburi railroad crossing.

The body of Budreeyah U-ngarmsil, 18, was retrieved from a wheel mounting of train No. 283 outbound from Bangkok to Chon Buri’s Plutaluang after being hit by the train during the morning rush hour on Asok-Montri Road near the Airport Rail Link’s Makkasan station.
