Cambodia News (Phnom Penh): At 7:20 am, on 27 May 2023, a young man was killed in a traffic accident when a container trailer hit him from behind while he was riding a motorcycle along Chom Chao Road (Called Veng Sreng Street) in front of Trapeang Thleung Market, Sangkat Choam Chao 1, Khan Por Sen Chey. The victim was 19 years old Chan Tola, a Grade 10 student of BELTEI International School.

According to sources at the scene, prior to the incident, the young man rode his Honda motorbike up to the Trapeang Thleung Market area where the traffic was congested and he slowed down to let other vehicles pass.
However, a container truck (Phnom Penh 3E-1254) which was driving behind the motorcycle in same direction at high speed, did not manage to slow down and brake in time, and it rammed the motorcyclist from behind with full force. The student was killed outright.

The truck driver got out of the vehicle and ran into the market, trying to escape from the accident scene, but he was surrounded and captured by local people, who had seen the accident caused by the truck. The driver was then handed over to the authorities to be dealt with by the legal procedures.
As for the young victim, authorities have handed over his body to his family for the funeral.RIP.
