A bus accident in Cambodia kills two foreigners and injures 44 other passengers.

The tourist coach flipped onto its side after one of its tyres burst.

A 22-year-old Russian woman was killed in the crash.

And a 72-year-old Austrian woman died later in hospital.

A local fruit-seller was also wounded when the rolling bus hit her.

Local police said the bus crashed because the driver was new, and had been driving on an unfamiliar route at a fast speed.

The driver is said to have fled the scene.

Local police are now asking for the bus company's cooperation in looking for him.
