Never trust the zebra crossing. Should be stamped on the tourist visa. I always hesitate to stop for pedestrians as I've been hit from behind by idiots going too fast or on their phone.

Anyone know if you supposed to stop at a pedestrian crossing under the traffic law?

Article 26: When there are pedestrians crossing, drivers shall implement the following measures:
1. In all cases, drivers shall stop their vehicles when there are pedestrians
crossing or about to cross at the zebra-crossing for pedestrians.
2. At road junctions or places near road-railway junctions, drivers are forbidden
from interfering or blocking pedestrians who are crossing the road, even at places where there is no zebra-crossing for pedestrians.
3. In case there is zebra-crossing for pedestrian at the road junction road where there are traffic lights or presence of traffic police officers, drivers shall not interfere or block the pedestrians who are crossing along zebra-crossing for pedestrians, and even when the green light is on or the traffic police officers order to move forward. When turning into another road where there are pedestrians crossing, drivers shall slow down their speed, and if necessary, stop, to give priority to the pedestrians to cross the road.
4. In case there is zebra-crossing for pedestrian at the road junction road where there are no traffic lights or presence of traffic police officers, drivers shall slow down or stop their vehicles, if necessary, to give priority to the pedestrians who are crossing or about to cross the road.

When crossing at a pedestrian crossing, flip your phone/ camera onto video record and point it at the traffic coming towards you . Most, but not all will stop.

Any information about her nationality? Looks very much like a young volunteer I know

Phnom Penh:
According to the source, before the incident the foreigner women and few friends were walking across Sihanouk boulevard. Suddenly, a Scoopy motorbike driven by a Cambodian women at high speed hit a foreigner woman, causing both of them (motorbike driver and a foreigner) to get seriously injured; they were both taken to hospital immediately.
After the incident, the police took the motorbike belonging to the Cambodian woman to keep at police station while waiting for the result of the investigation.

Sounds like the Cambodian lady could and should be charged with negligence driving.
