PHNOM PENH (The Cambodia Herald) -- Banteay Meanchey governor, Try Narin was killed in a traffic accident early Wednesday morning when his vehicle crashed into a truck on National Road 5 in the commune of Moung in Battambang province’s Moung district.

The governor, who sat in the front passenger seat next to his driver, was on his way from Banteay Meanchey to Phnom Penh.

The driver only sustained minor injures because his vehicle crashed and sustained most of its damage on the right side where the governor was seating.

The driver with the truck had fled the scene of the accident.

The body of young governor was brought to Banteay Meanchey province after being kept at Battambang hospital.

Try Narin was the second governor to be killed in a traffic accident in recent years after Kratie governor, Kham Phoeun was killed in a road accident last year.
