Carnage on Monivong: accident causes 3 dead and 6 injured

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

I hope this was sarcasm :facepalm: One of the reason these "i hit one car little -> panic -> i try escape and then accidentally hit more people" things happens because of this "beat the the guy who crashed" attitude in Cambodia. I just wish you never accidentally hit anyone when driving out there.

Is it cause they know that justice will NOT be given?
Yep, so they say. So they want to give justice themselves.
nope no sarcasm
ive seen hundreds of crashes out here that havent resulted in a public beating, thieves on the other hand...

i had a crash here once, 3 guys on an old dream come at me up the wrong side of the road and hit me head on and smashed up my airblade, they quickly jumped back on and did a runner, cost me $3-400 to fix, the locals actually helped take my bike to a roadside mechanic

Some cases like this. Most of people who have cars drive like they will not die even traffic accident happen so they don't care about anyone else.

If they try to escape by running is fine, but if they try to drive the cars to escape, most of them end up with sad story.

Exactly! But like said the problem here is the fear of public beating even if you are the cause of accident or not. And which some expats seems to be in favour too :shock:

Edit. and the public beating is much more common when car is involved. When bikes have collision it's rare to happen.

I know the fear of a beating is the reason for running however it does not excuse it.

What could solve this issue is the police being trained in ''scene management'', it always amazes me when things like this happen, the amount of police that just stand looking, not moving on gawkers, not making sure evidence is collected or not damaged with people walking everywhere and best, actually watching a mob beat down a purp before stepping in before they kill them (sometimes after they have been killed).

Its a sad state of affairs when running from a scene is more appropriate than staying put because not even the police will help should it all go tits up.
