Re: Passenger and Freight Trains Crashed into Each Other in Sihanoukville
Koon Khmer reports that a Khmer woman and a foreign couple were taken to hospital in Sihanoukville with light injuries.

It seems the brakes are set to be the 'go to' fault when the train has an accident.
Strangely enough, the previous accident - when the train came off the tracks into a canal - was said to have been caused by too much braking...Luigi wrote:Ahh the old ''brakes failed'' story. First time I've seen it used for trains.
I think what we have here is a failure to communicate.

One explanation for the crash here from the local police:
http://www.khmertimeskh.com/news/34025/ ... collision/“It happened on December 7 at 9am. Actually, it’s not all that strange,” he said.
“When it arrived at the station, it put on the brakes, but they didn’t work and it hit a stopped train ahead which was on the same tracks.
“The driver was not injured and three people on the train got slightly injured. Two were foreigners and one was Cambodian,” he added, identifying the injured Cambodian as Sao Sophal, 38.
“After the accident, the foreigners took a taxi to a hospital in Preah Sihanouk province.”
Veal Rinh commune police chief Oung Vuthy said the two trains had been on the way to Phnom Penh from Sihanoukville.
“The first train which had stopped at the station in Veal Rinh commune carried oil, while the second train was carrying passengers,” Mr. Vuthy said.
“The first train stopped at the station to switch tracks to let the passenger train go first. The second train put on its brakes, but they didn’t work and it rear-ended the stationary train, damaging its engine.
“Three people were slightly injured, but the driver was not injured because he knew the brakes didn’t work and had time to brace himself...
