Seven Finns were injured in a tourist bus accident that also claimed the life of a Russian man in Cambodia on Tuesday. One of the Finns was so badly injured that he was taken to hospital in Bangkok, Thailand.

Of the 48 passengers on board the bus, 40 were foreign tourists, who were heading from Sihanoukville to the Thai border when one of the front tyres blew out and overturned.

All of the passengers were injured, some seriously, and were treated at local hospitals, according to the AFP.

Police said speed was a factor in the accident.

The driver of the bus fled the scene, according to police.
