I think that the bus was carrying foreign and local passengers from Siem Reap to Bangkok. It collided with a truck on National Highway. 2 dead, several injured.

Vireak buntham. Quelle surprise.

Front of the bus looks gone. Driver probably didn't run away from this one.

No, but the rare Cambodian tortoises that they were smuggling in the luggage hold are still fleeing the scene.

200 million teenage girls are delighted to see Beiber survived.
Their boyfriends not so much.

Strange that I thought of that bus company straight away when I saw this.
That the Vireak Buntham company is still running - and still scamming, still driving dangerously - is bad news for tourism in Cambodia, even if the authorities don't care about the locals (which they should of course.)
How many cases of fatal accidents, smuggling, and rape and theft of customers will be enough before anything is done about this company ?
Shame on the transport authorities. Vireak Buntham gives a bad name to Cambodia and a bad reputation for Cambodian buses.
And it's dangerous.

Two drivers dead, four hurt in Siem Reap crash
November 16, 2017
Two drivers died and four passengers were injured in a traffic accident between a bus and a soil truck yesterday morning in Siem Reap.

District deputy police chief Pors Chantha said the drivers died at the scene, while those injured were sent to a private clinic.

“It was a head-on collision between the bus and soil truck. Out of the four injured, two of them were foreigners. All are receiving treatment,” he said.
The accident on National Road 6 involved a Virak Buntham company bus.

“The road was curved, the drivers did not adhere to the right-hand drive rule, and were likely driving fast,” Mr Chantha said. He added that it was raining at the time of the accident, which could have impaired the drivers’ visibility.

I got the Vireak Buntham bus from PP to KK yesterday. Stopped twice on the mountain road, because of overheating. Then changed to another bus to complete the journey. But never mind I am sure new Chinese buses will be on the agenda.

What makes you think that. I'm sure their mechanics will repair that bus that you were on and the head-on smashed up one in a few days time.,, making one good as new out of two.
