A CPP Pursat deputy provincial governor died when his car hit a tractor at 8:30 PM on 29 January 2008, along National Road No. 5 in Maung Russei district, during his return trip from a mission in Battambang province. Dom Kim Ny, the 59-year-old deputy provincial governor, died on the spot, along with his 83-year-old mother. 54-year-old Ok Mony, another deputy provincial governor who traveled with Dom Kim Ny, was seriously injured and had to be transported over to Phnom Penh in the middle of the night. A report indicated that the 3 passengers were traveling a Toyota 4-Runner SUV driven by Ok Mony. When the car arrived at the level of Maung russei district, the driver wanted to pass a container truck, but at that time, another vehicle coming from the opposite direction forced Ok Mony to pull back to the right and hit a tractor moving in the same direction, but without any headlight. The impact was so violent that the car rolled over 2-3 times, and killed Dom Kim Ny and his mother immediately on the spot.
