At least 16 people were killed and more than 24 injured when a passenger bus lost control and plunged from a bridge into a river in Cambodia’s central Kampong Thom province early Thursday morning. Police said the bus, carrying 37 passengers from Oddar Meanchey province to the capital Phnom Penh, fell into a canal around 3 a.m. The vehicle had stopped in Siem Reap, a major tourist hub, to pick up passengers before the crash. Authorities suspect one of the two alternating drivers may have fallen asleep at the wheel. Cambodia’s Interior Minister Sar Sokha shared images of the rescue operation showing a crane lifting the half-submerged bus. The death toll initially stood at 13 but rose to 16 after the recovery operation concluded. All victims were Cambodian nationals. Injured passengers were admitted to Kampong Thom Provincial Hospital, while the bodies of the deceased were handed over to their families. Road safety data show nearly 700 people died in traffic accidents in Cambodia during the first half of 2025, slightly down from 800 in the same period last year.
