This is the shocking moment a train slammed a car on a level crossing and dragged it along the railway.

The cargo train number 985 travelled from Bangkok and was approaching the station in Narathiwat province when it hit the grey Honda sedan on February 7.

CCTV footage shows the freight train crashing onto the side of the vehicle.

The motorcycles before it successfully reached the other side but the sedan was right on the rail road when the train passed through.

The Honda car swerved the other way upon impact before being pushed by the train that halted seconds later.

Driver Nualphan said he was a teacher from Bansarayor School and was with her two pupils, both ten years old, when they were hit by the train.

The teacher and her students were wounded but they did not have broken bones or serious internal injuries.

Sungai Kolok Railway Station Master Sahri Senbat said: 'I want to urge drivers to be cautious and check both directions when travelling through these crossings.

'The train blows whistles when approaching crossings as a warning. Please be more careful.'

The injured teacher and the two kids were taken to Sungai Kolok Hospital for tests.

The Honda car was wrecked and hurtled into a ditch when the train stopped while the locomotive sustained damage to the air pipe and air faucet on the right side.

Train accidents at level crossings in Thailand have been an ongoing issue, especially involving collisions between vehicles and trains.

The lack of infrastructure, barriers, and drivers ignoring signals are common. The State Railway of Thailand said that unauthorised crossings, often created by residents without consulting the railway organisation, contribute to these factors.
