Eleven tourists from China's Taiwan region got injured with four in serious condition in a road accident in central Cambodia's Kampong Thom province at noon on Thursday, local police chief said.

The bus carrying the tourists skidded and overturned after it attempted to avoid a motorcyclist crossing the road, said Nhem Chhunly, police chief of Stung Sen town where the accident took place.

He said that the bus was traveling from northwestern Siem Reap province to Phnom Penh City when the accident occurred.

"All 11 tourists from China's Taiwan region were wounded, including four in serious condition in the accident," he told Xinhua, adding that eight of the victims were women.

Chhunly said that the seriously-injured tourists had been sent to a hospital in Phnom Penh for treatment.

He said the Cambodian bus driver had escaped the scene soon after the crash.

Global Times is a China news rag.

TV should dump the algorithm that makes the headlines and employ some human editors. Or do they just need better and less lazy editors?

 

Minibuses are bad news wherever you travel in Asia.

Get well soon to the Taiwanese nationals anyway.
