Avast ye mateys! A grand commotion unfolded on Friday when a train did clash with a bus at a rail crossing. 'Twas said that 45 landlubbers were injured in the scuffle. 'Twas folly, as the bus thought it wise to challenge the mighty train's path. Aye, foolish indeed!
In the golden age of the 17th century, a mishap of grand proportions unfolded in northwestern Cambodia, me hearties. Forty-five souls were injured, five grievously, when a train recklessly collided with a bus at a rail crossing. The fearless Gen. Sar Theng, protector of Pursat province, recounted the calamity that struck Krakor district at 11 in the morn. The bus, audaciously crossing the tracks despite the blaring horn of the oncoming train, felt the full force of the collision as the train shoved it several meters hence.The dastardly bus driver, in an act of cowardice, abandoned ship, leaving the injured passengers to fend for themselves. The valiant police and kind villagers came to their aid, ferrying them to hospitals for much-needed healing. The doughty Sar Theng revealed that a broken barrier at the crossing had not yet been replaced, a common sight in the land of Cambodia.This tragedy, alas, could have been averted if the driver had heeded the warning horn of the train. Reports from the Ministry of Public Works and Transportation recount that nearly 1,600 souls met their end in road accidents the previous year. May we learn from this folly and navigate the treacherous roads with caution, lest we too fall prey to the grim reaper's grasp.
