Phnom Penh, Cambodia News: This morning, on June 12, 2019, a fatal accident occurred between a Corolla car and a motorbike at 5:15 am along Norodom Boulevard, close to Chaktomuk High School, located in Chaktomuk commune, Daun Penh district.
A 26-year-old woman named Chea from Battambang Province was killed outright and another victim, named Vic, a 25-year-old male, was seriously injured. Witnesses say that the car was speeding when it hit the motorcycle which was carrying the two victims.
