Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
PHNOM PENH, Cambodia — Two separate traffic accidents in Cambodia on Saturday killed at least 14 garment factory workers and injured 79 others, mostly women.

Nine people were killed and 44 injured, according to a statement issued by the Labor Ministry. The second crash occurred in the southeastern province of Svay Rieng, one of Cambodia’s main garment-factory hubs.
