American fugitive hiding in Cambodia after injuring British family

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.

American fugitive hiding in Cambodia after injuring British family

Post by Randolphgb »

Gregory Yamada, 39, ploughed into a couple and their four-year-old daughter on a dream holiday, leaving them with critical injuries in Koh Chang, Thailand.

Cops have since issued an arrest warrant for him after the fugitive is thought to have fled across the border to Cambodia.

I wonder why he didn't show up in court to face minimum 3 years jail.

Anyways, good thing the cops was nice enough to let him continue on his way and sleep off his hangover before skipping town :thumb:

So the guy mowed them down, went to the hospital with the victims just to claim his innocence to then take of again? This made the police certain enough to publicly state that he was four times over the limit? And why did the brit let him run of with family members lying in the hospital?

"Yeah you mowed down my 4 year old but please carry and on have a nice day" :facepalm:
