A Man was killed and three others seriously injured on Monday when their tractor was rear-ended while on the way to the hospital in Preah Vihear province’s Yeang commune.

Yoeum Lom, the district’s deputy police chief said Horn Neng, 40, was ill and being sent for treatment when a Toyota car hit them, injuring him and family members Thul Thok, 27, Yi Thei, 37, and Neng Sinut, five.
