Re: Fatal Tuk-Tuk Crash Kills Two Finnish Passengers & Cambodian Driver in Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Huh? Just pointing out that this news has gone global, as I'm sure some have noticed the search of traffic today. It's tragic that these Finns died and a lot of people want answers. This isn't the only time we've had a 'Kambodza News' story that has drawn international attention, so not sure what your issue is with me mentioning that we have a lot of readers today from the victims' home country.Cricket99 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 02, 2019 10:47 pmSeriously, what's wrong with you, give it a break, we all know you are the king of the forums.General Mackevili wrote: ↑Sat Mar 02, 2019 9:49 pm We have a lot of readers online from Finland today, so this tragic news has clearly made it across the oceans.

Not to dispute the role alcohol allegedly plays here but another factor at 3AM is that the roads are less crowded thus permitting high speeds.
If this guy were just as drunk at 3PM there'd be an accident but I'm thinking so much more likely to not be a fatal one.

The crashed tuktuk has a Secrets bar advert on the back. That may mean the driver was based outside that bar. Secrets bar is popular with visitors from Pattaya as there is a sister bar of the same name there.
I don't mean to suggest that the bar is in any way responsible. But people may want to track the men's movements.
RIP all three men.

The Lexus hit the tuk tuk and then dragged it. Meant the car didn’t stop after the crash, the driver just kept going. Like in a Hollywood movie. The drunk guy was out to kill and achieved just that.
RIP to all those who died. Based on the drunk’s driving, a Prius might not have saved them, a cement truck might have.
I hope justice finds the drunk. And the spirits of the dead abuse him everyday until he gets to the other side.

The laws in FInland (and most of the Europe) strictly prohibit publishing any information about the deceased. Yet here they are, corpses and indentity cards and all...
Overall, very tragic and shocking. Seeing pictures about the case adds to the shock. I wish I will never die in Cambodia.
