More than 60 garment workers were injured yesterday when the truck in which they were travelling overturned in Svay Rieng province’s Bavet district.

 

The workers, employed at several different factories in Bavet’s Manhattan Special Economic Zone, were being driven to work in an overcrowded, open truck when it flipped over, throwing its occupants onto the street. Ten suffered serious injuries, including head trauma, while 51 others received minor wounds.

 

Bavet deputy police chief Chea Sina said the incident, which took place at 6:30am, was due to careless driving. The truck flipped over because the driver, who fled on foot after the accident, was speeding, he said, adding that no other vehicles were involved.
