A severe rainstorm struck Cambodia’s Angkor temple complex on Tuesday afternoon, causing a large tree to fall onto a tuk-tuk near the southern gate of Angkor Thom. The incident resulted in the tragic death of the tuk-tuk driver and injuries to the three passengers, one of whom is in critical condition. The Siem Reap Provincial Administration confirmed the accident in a statement on Wednesday.

The accident occurred near the famous Angkor Wat temple, which is part of the same archaeological complex located in the northwestern province of Siem Reap, approximately 200 miles northwest of Phnom Penh.

The Angkor site, Cambodia’s most popular tourist attraction, welcomed over half a million international visitors in the first half of this year, according to the country’s Tourism Ministry.

The fallen tree also damaged several statues on the balustrade of the Tonle Oum Gate, according to the statement.

The Apsara National Authority, responsible for overseeing the Angkor site, posted images on their official Facebook page showing the fallen tree blocking the temple entrance. The agency subsequently announced the removal of the tree, restoring access for visitors.

The Angkor site, spanning over 155 square miles, encompasses the ruins of capitals from various Cambodian empires dating back to the 9th to the 15th centuries. It is widely considered one of Southeast Asia’s most significant archaeological sites.
