Early today, a long-distance bus carrying 37 passengers struck a bridge guardrail and plunged into a river on National Road 6 in Kampong Thom province, Cambodia, killing 13 people and injuring more than 20. Rescue work continued for several hours, and the injured were rushed to nearby hospitals.
Preliminary findings suggested that driver fatigue may have caused the loss of control. The relevant authorities are investigating the driving conditions at the time, the vehicle's technical condition and the driver's work records, and have begun assessing responsibility for the crash.
