I've lost count of the number of accidents I have since read about since then

The bus driver fled the accident scene.

I think avoiding the night buses is excellent advice (right up there with not going to Poipet in the first place).

Where is Keanu when you need him ?
Either to drive the bus, to chase the culprit, or to reveal this was just a glitch in the Shatrix ?


Anyway, this bus has reached his "point break" status for good.
