A rainstorm and a missing warning sign are being blamed in the deaths of two brothers who drove their motorbike off an unfinished bridge in Kandal province on Sunday.

The construction project in Sa’ang district’s Preak Koy commune is being overseen by Hanshin Engineering and Construction, although the physical construction was subcontracted to MICG, then again to a firm called CJCG.

The bridge previously had a sign warning motorists to take a detour, but it had been removed, police said.

Soy Sarvorn, deputy chief of Sa’ang district, said the two victims were brothers Tour Sineurn, 25, and Tour Meth, 24.

“Based on our analysis, the accident was a result of the motorist’s carelessness while driving in the rain and the removal of the sign banning the entry to the bridge,” he added...http://www.phnompenhpost.com/national/u ... -sign-cops
