2 Trains Crash in Sihanoukville

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Holy shit, for a country with only 2 single-track train routes there are a ridiculous amount of train accidents.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Probably not a good idea to run red lights when you are in a train. Obviously one of the two ignored the red signal

Did the train engineers run together or in opposite directions?

Obviously one of the trains was speeding, or were they playing chicken to see who would give way first .
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

One of the trains was loading/unloading petrol at a Tela storage depot and the other one ran into it, from what I can gather from the article. At least there wasn't a massive explosion.
