Trains are bigger than trucks

This may not be news to you, but some truck drivers are still putting this to the test.
The latest incident occurred on December 7, 2017, near Wat Xenam, south of Prey Kak commune, Kea Kak I commune, Por Sen Chey district, when a truck drove through a level crossing barrier and connected with the on-coming train. Fortunately the truck driver emerged unscathed from his game of chicken with the train driver and lives to try again another day.

Probably had no brakes, like all the other trucks here.

Trucker picks worst possible place to stall
Police in Phnom Penh’s Por Sen Chey district got all the dirt on a gravel truck driver whose rig was rammed by a train yesterday.

The 36-year-old transporter claimed he got stuck on the tracks and was unable to move, leading to the lorry-on-locomotive collision.

Luckily, however, no one was injured, and after the crash, the truck was towed away to the police station and the train carried on to its destination.

Considering how very few trains run here, the amount of train accidents is astronomical.
