Sihanoukville: Foreigner Hits a Cambodian Man With his Tiny Car and Tried to Flee

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.

Always tough to know what to do in these situations - stop, render assistance and face the real possibility of getting beaten to death, or flee and violate one's basic legal and moral obligations. It's a dilemma. Cambodians who I consider friends pretty much universally recommend the latter.

I think he is an expat. Tourist would not bother to buy a car. i might be wrong , but i don't think the mob would beat up the barang. Khmers have high respect for barang unless you are a complete prick.

Just the other night I saw Khmers set upon a barang who went down in some minor altercation that had already ended. They had no idea what it was all about but they were right there ready to kick and stomp on the guy for no other reason than he was down and vulnerable. And mob beat downs after car accidents is SOP here. I would put no faith in white skin stopping the mob. If you are going to stop after an accident, I think the only hope is to be very very visible in being seen trying to do the right thing, in being very contrite and calm and trying to help the victim or get help for the victim and offering to pay. And even then, I'm not sure what would happen.
