Phnom Penh: According to the Department of Traffic Police and Public Order of the National Police Commission, on May 17, 2019 there were 18 accidents across the country causing 13 deaths, 24 seriously injured and 14 others slightly injured.
Please note that for 17 days from May 1 to May 17, 2019 there were 197 accidents causing 86 deaths, 191 serious and 91 minor injuries.
The post below was started yesterday evening after seeing reports all day, but too many Black Panthers and a general depression (the images accompanying the reports were awful), it was left incomplete, until the above report confirmed, plus more.
Please take care and always wear a helmet!
