The passengers were all members of the Order of Preachers Vietnam, a Catholic order, in Nghe An Province.


They were on their way to an annual youth camp at a church in Nong Bua Lamphu Province, northeast of Thailand, on June 2, when their bus crashed head-on into an 18-wheel truck.


A fire broke out that quickly consumed the bus.


Local police believed that the Thai bus driver may have fallen asleep, causing the accident.


The Ban Kijjanukhroh Church’s three-day youth camp is an annual event for 120 Thai and Vietnamese students. This year’s event was cancelled following the tragedy.
