The Svay Rieng Provincial Court today sentenced the bus driver responsible for a fatal crash in May that claimed 19 lives to five years’ imprisonment, according to a family member of one of the deceased.

Ean Rim, 37, the husband of a garment worker who died in the bus crash, said in an interview that Judge Sothy Borachhat, when announcing the verdict, also ordered defendant Le Vang Phing, 43, to compensate the families of the dead in the amount of 12 million riel (about $2,950) each.

“We are now discussing filing an appeal because the decision is not harsh enough,” said Ean. “My wife and other workers’ lives are gone. [Le] killed many people and his bus was fully responsible.”
