Cambodia News (Phnom Penh): At 4:10 pm on October 8, 2021, in Tropang Svay village, Khan Sen Sok, a 6-year-old girl was run over by a truck (Kompong Thom 3A-16389), driven by an unidentified driver who reversed the truck without checking behind.

According to the victim's father, 30-year-old Sambath Da, a cement warehouse worker from Chek Thlok village, Tropang Srae commune, Mesang district, Prey Ven province, he ordered a new bike for his young daughter. It was off-loaded, but then the driver reversed in an attempt to go back home. Unfortunately, he ran over the little girl and killed her instantly. RIP.
The driver ran away from the accident scene. The truck was towed to the police station for further investigation.

Kids just play where they want here. The road isn’t the best place.

RIP child.

Sounds like it was the bike delivery truck driver himself who killed her. She probably just ran straight to the bike and the guy reversed without looking. Horrible accident. Kids here are generally super good at staying off roads. A truck backing up though is another story.

When I was a kid, both in the UK and in Ireland, we did the same. That was less than half a century ago. It will continue until people stop producing kids, anywhere.

At the same time, though. Another senseless, needless accident.
RIP

OMG, why'd he do that?
They got his bloody truck, so he's gonna have to face up to what he's done.

Weird story. Since when do you need a big truck to deliver a tiny kid's bike?
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Not to excuse for the truck driver, but it would be impossible to spot the kid even he checked the view mirrors if the small kid is right behind the truck. The parents are part of the blame here to say the least. The poor innocent kid had to accept the tragic consequence.
