1 Dead in Vireak Buntham Night Bus Crash
Pursat, Cambodia News: Shortly after midnight, in the early hours of 9 January 2019, a Vireak Buntham passenger bus collided with a Toyota car coming in the opposite direction. The accident occurred on National Highway 5, between 140-141 Km in Sand Village Ekp commune, Pursat province.
The driver of the Toyota died at the crash scene, while the bus driver ran away and is being sought by police. The cause of the accident has not yet been determined, and Pursat police have impounded both vehicles while the case is being investigated. It is worth noting that the Vireak Buntham bus company has a particularly poor safety record for night transport in Cambodia.
There was no report on the state of the bus passengers.

Holding the Bus Company financially liable is the ONLY WAY to stop the needless bloodshed on the roads!

Is the owner an ordinary Khmer or an Okhna? If it were the former, then it would have happened a long time ago.

Re: 1 Dead in Vireak Buntham Night Bus Crash
It's a safe bet that one of the biggest transport companies is the country isn't owned by anyone too ordinary, wherever they started from. Most of the tycoons in this country come from very humble backgrounds. It's not as if the company hasn't come under scrutiny before either:newkidontheblock wrote: ↑Wed Jan 09, 2019 10:16 pm Is the owner an ordinary Khmer or an Okhna?

Some staff have already been fired for previous criminal activity – Long Sopheap is not the first driver to have been arrested and prosecuted. Mr. Sopheap, who allegedly sexually assaulted a lone female traveller while she was sleeping, will be fired if the court find him guilty, according to Virak Buntham.

Fired? How about sentenced to jail?
There seems to be no sense of justice in the KOW?
The only thing that is true is POWER.

It seems the Toyota didn't even bother to switch on the lights, the Vireak bus is shining like a X-mas tree.
