A bus carrying Cambodian schoolgirls crashes into a pond, killing five students, with video later shared online showing the vehicle submerged near the shore. The incident happens in Cambodia’s Kandal province, where authorities say the bus veers off the road during the morning trip to school.
Police accounts described in reporting link the skid to a sudden obstacle on the road. One source says witnesses reported a motorcycle crossing in front of the speeding bus, prompting the driver to brake hard and lose control, sending the bus into roadside water. Other outlets focus more generally on the crash and the deaths, without adding extra details beyond the location and timing.
One outlet also adds an enforcement detail, saying the driver is arrested after the bus plunges into the pond. Another specifies the students’ ages and the total number of children aboard, indicating the bus or vehicle carried 26 students when the crash occurs.
