11yo killed by careless Cintri truck; Sihanoukville.
WTF. According to this article, this is the second death of a child caused by a Cintri truck in Sihanoukville this week.Totally unacceptable that they carry on as usual.
Young boy struck and killed by Cintri truck in Sihanoukville
Thu, 24 November 2016 Khouth Sophak Chakrya
An 11-year-old boy was killed and his 15-year-old sister injured after a collision with a Cintri rubbish truck in Sihanoukville yesterday, according to police, with an official at the trash collection company blaming the children for not wearing helmets.
Deputy provincial police chief Ty Sokha said that the girl, Pheak Sok Komarey, had been driving a Scoopy motorbike with her younger brother, Pheak Rattanakchhuoy, when metal protruding from the side of the truck struck the boy’s head and knocked him to the ground.
“This accident was caused by the garbage truck driver, who drove carelessly and veered into the motorbike lane,” said Sokha, adding that witnesses saw the girl swerve to try to avoid the truck, which was driving downhill, but could not avoid its path.
The truck’s driver escaped, the police chief added, and police are now searching for him.
Iv Khunsreng, head of Cintri in the province, acknowledged his driver had caused the accident but said it easily could have been avoided. “The boy died because his head hit against the truck, and if he wore a helmet, he would not have died,” he said.
The boy’s father, Sun Sopheak, said both his children had been wearing helmets at the time.
In a separate Cintri accident, Phnom Penh garbage truck driver Sorn Ran was questioned at court yesterday over the death of a 15-year-old in a crash on Monday, but no charges were laid, said Tin Vansy, of the municipal traffic police.

not trying to sound callous here but it is better to protect yourself with dash mounted cameras, several times i have nearly killed kids weaving in between cars at breakneck speed.

Cintri is trying to put the blame on the kids, but there is no question about who is at fault here:
The kids were both wearing helmets.Deputy provincial police chief Ty Sokha said that the girl, Pheak Sok Komarey, had been driving a Scoopy motorbike with her younger brother, Pheak Rattanakchhuoy, when metal protruding from the side of the truck struck the boy’s head and knocked him to the ground.

Sorry but how would the camera protect you? All you would do is get evidence (hopefully) in an accident which would mysteriously disappear before it gets to court.bolueeleh wrote:not trying to sound callous here but it is better to protect yourself with dash mounted cameras, several times i have nearly killed kids weaving in between cars at breakneck speed.
