One man died and five people were injured, three critically, when a Rith Mony bus carrying about 20 passengers burst into flames that swept through the cabin on Saturday night in Battambang’s O’Mal commune, provincial authorities said yesterday.

 

The charred remains of 42-year-old Banteay Menachey resident Long Thea were only discovered after the flames were extinguished, provincial fire chief Kim Bunthoeun said yesterday. Passengers Chhoeun Sina, 28; Mony Bopha, 3; and Chin Sok Ken, 40, remain in critical condition, while Ou Reaksa, 27, and Chin Kong, 68, sustained minor injuries.

 

“The [engine] explosion occurred at about 10:20pm . . . The man who died was reportedly asleep. He was burned almost to ash, and we could not even identify his body,” Bunthoeun said.
