Translation from Khmer by Socheata
A Lexus Mini car belonging to Star Singer Sokun Nisa and driven by the actress herself hit a truck transporting dirt in the opposite direction. During the accident, Sokun Nisa’s car was also carrying three other passengers. The accident was serious enough for the car water tank to explode and it pushed the truck back by about 4-meter before it came to a stop. The Rasmei Kampuchea newspaper reported that this incident took place on 10 July 2008 at 2:45 PM, to the west of the Noreay (Shiva) round about, located in Kab Ko Thmei village, O’Cha commune, Battambang district, Battambang province. No one was seriously injured during this traffic accident, but Sokun Nisa and the 3 passengers immediately abandoned the Lexus car, and took off in another car while saying that they are in a hurry to go to a show in Banteay Meanchey province. Regarding this accident, some said that the star was talking over her phone while driving, and the phone may have slipped out of her hand. While trying to reach for her phone, she swerved to the right (left?) of the truck coming from the opposite direction. Ker Yean, the deputy police commissioner for the province of Battambang said that Sokun Nisa apologized to the truck and asked to pay for its repair. Ker Yean added this case was resolved in the morning of 12 July 2008.
