A motorcyclist was badly injured in a traffic accident at 10:45am March 27, 2018, at the intersection of Street 430 and street 183, in the Tonle Sap Lake area, Chamkarmon district, when he was hit by a truck carrying energy drinks.

The truck apparently hit the motorcyclist first, the force of the impact slamming the vehicle into the side of the Ho Chi Minh City to Phnom Penh express bus at the intersection.
Both the truck and the bus were only slightly damaged in the accident but the motorcyclist was gravely injured and taken to hospital.

The truck driver fled the scene of the accident.

Don't you mean, "The truck driver successfully fled the scene of the accident."

Those Khai Nam buses have a depot down in Boeung Tumpun and the drivers are very used to narrow streets, turns and bridges. It looks like the motorcyclist tried to get through a gap while they were in a tight space?

I'd agree you see a lot of these young kids trying to slip through gaps. I remember once cycling down a road and a big truck driving past so i was keeping tight to the sidewalk (well the cars parked by the sidewalk) when i feel some goon banging into me who'd misjudged the gap and was about to get crushed between, squealing like a stuck pig. he had to drop back or die. I said to him what the hell was his problem that he had to risk his life to gain 30seconds (and then hit some traffic lights) he was sorry and shocked but happens every day. These young guys can never judge what is in front of them and read the situation.

hope the kid makes a speedy recovery and learns his lesson
