Dont be too quick to blame Virak Buntham. I was on that road in a taxi recently and a guy ran across the road directly in front of us in broad daylight. We were travelling at about 80 km/h. The taxi driver swerved without losing control and barely managed to avoid hitting him

Unless the bus was travelling at speed at night with no lights on

, it wouldn't surprise me

How else would the woman not see the bus coming ?.

I doubt she was sleeping on the road, Cambodians normally choose the railway tracks for that

To do damage like that to the bus the driver must have been speeding.
