A miniature train operating inside The Mall Lifestore Bangkae crashed into a café section on 27 March, startling diners and shoppers. Security footage showed the train veering off its track and crashing through a barrier before colliding with tables and chairs in a dining area.
The incident reportedly occurred after the train’s operator suffered an epileptic seizure, resulting in a loss of control. Authorities are investigating the matter, and no injuries have been reported.
Footage Shows Moment of Impact
Video recordings circulating on social media and local news platforms show the brightly coloured train travelling off-course and entering the café space. As the train breaches the railing, several diners are seen fleeing, while furniture is knocked over in the impact.
The train eventually came to a stop inside the café. On-site staff responded promptly to the scene, and emergency services were alerted.
Operator Reportedly Had Seizure
According to multiple media reports, the train operator experienced a seizure during the ride. This has been cited as the reason for the loss of control, though official medical confirmation has not yet been released by authorities.
The operator was taken for medical attention following the crash. Further details about the individual’s condition or employment status have not been disclosed at this time.
Investigation and Safety Review Underway
Local authorities are reviewing the incident, including whether existing safety measures were sufficient to prevent such occurrences. The indoor ride, a popular attraction for children and families, remains temporarily suspended as the investigation continues.
The Mall Group has not yet issued a formal public statement, but news reports indicate that management is cooperating with authorities.
Viewer Responses
Without knowing the context, many users were quick to express their untimely “humorous” sides.
Others expressed concern for the driver and the children on the ride.
A user decided to inform in the comments of what had actually happened that led to the unfortunate mishap.
No Injuries Reported
Despite the sudden nature of the crash, no injuries were reported among mall patrons or staff. The affected café area was briefly cordoned off for inspection and clean-up following the incident.
Authorities have not announced any changes to mall operations at this time but are expected to assess whether further safety measures or regulatory changes are needed.
