5 die as taxi smashes into truck.
The accident happened on November 24 2016 at 3.45PM. The taxi was driving to Battambang from Phnom Penh. It is reported that the driver is believed to have gone to sleep at the wheel and ploughed into the on-coming truck. Somehow both the drivers managed to flee, while all five of the taxi passengers died. One of the victims was a small child. RIP.
All five passengers in a taxi died after their speedy vehicle crashed into a cargo truck on Thursday afternoon in northwest Cambodia's Battambang province, according to a police report.
"Five people, including one male and four females, died in the accident," said the police report of Mong Russei district, where the fatal crash took place.
It added that the drivers of the two vehicles fled the scene soon after the accident.
Eye witnesses said the taxi was blamed for the crash since the driver perhaps felt drowsy and swerved to hit the truck coming from the opposite direction.

No matter how bad the accidents are these people have the skill or drive to be able to get up and run away.
