The latest report on this accident confirms that the car drove directly into the rear of the cement mixer truck, instead of changing lanes to pass. The accident scenario seems to indicate that the truck was not easily visible from behind, and it is possible that may not have had any working rear lights. (Cambodian trucks are unfortunately notorious for bad maintenance standards.)
Was the cement-mixer truck crawling along the expressway slow lane in the dark when it was hit from behind ?
