Teenager dies after collision with truck
A 14-year-old boy died after a Lexus truck ran into the back of his motorbike in Takeo province earlier this month. Police said one of the tyres on the back of the truck “exploded”, causing the truck to lose control and collide with the back of the victim’s motorbike. The truck overturned into a nearby rice field, but its passengers only suffered minor injuries. The 14-year-old was sent to hospital, and died not long after as a result of his injuries.
