Irishman in critical condition after bus crash in Cambodia

A 29-YEAR-OLD Corkman was critically injured in the early hours of Sunday morning in a bus crash in southeastern Cambodia.

Michael O’Riordan, originally from Mallow but now resident in Dublin, had taken a night bus from the popular resort of Siem Reap bound for Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh City.

As the bus entered the south-eastern province of Prey Veng, the bus hit a large corn truck that was parked on the roadside. An Indonesian man was killed and his two sisters remain in a serious condition in the capital Phnom Penh.
