FERTILISER TRUCK CAUSES TRAFFIC JAM
At least six people were injured on Saturday in an accident that was caused by an overloaded truck in Phnom Penh. The truck sustained a broken brake cord while crossing a bridge and crashed into four cars and two motorbikes. The truck driver, Heam Pheakdey, a 19-year-old man from Battambang province, was arrested by police. The accident caused a traffic jam for several hours because police could not remove the truck, which contained 40 tonnes of chemical fertiliser, from the scene.
