Speeding Landfill Truck Crashes into Sihanoukville Construction Site: 5 Injured

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Another serious accident involving a speeding "out of control" truck occurred in Sihanoukville today.
Fortunately, nobody was killed in this instance, but some people have been seriously injured, and it is time to control these trucks which are causing death and destruction due to overloading, brake failure, and incompetent drivers.
