A young girl was killed instantly and a woman badly injured when a street lamp fell on them yesterday morning in Banteay Meanchey province near the Thai border.

 

Sao Sarouen, Poipet town deputy police chief in charge of traffic, said yesterday that a truck carrying harvesting and ploughing machines caused the accident.

 

The truck snagged an electric wire hanging above the vehicle, Sarouen said, pulling a concrete electric post and a metal street lamp from their moorings. The lamp hit Heng Menghuor, 9, and her aunt May Sokunthy, 32, as the pair rode a motorbike to market.

Uhhh, really sorry

As I told many time it is a most dangerous thing to be a child in Thailand.

This was not in Thailand. It was in Cambodia.
