Five female garment workers, one of them pregnant, were killed and 68 others injured yesterday morning after a truck overloaded with garment workers plunged into a ditch. The accident raises questions yet again about the perilous state of the Kingdom’s transportation system for more than 700,000 labourers in its clothing industry.

The accident happened at 6:45am on the border of the Kong Pisei and Samrong Tong districts in Kampong Speu province, according to Touch Phearith, Kong Pisei district police chief in charge of traffic.

“[Two] trucks were loaded with factory workers, and one truck attempted to overtake the other, and suddenly [a third] truck came up ahead, so the first truck veered off into a ditch and flipped over, causing some to die,” he said.
