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.

Sihanoukville: A 60 year old French man, identified only as Patrick, died in a motorbike accident at 3:30 am on April 8, on Independence Street, near Ousamart bridge, Sangkat 3, Sihanoukville.

The victim was riding the motorbike alone when he hit the side of the road causing his motorbike to fall over. He wasn't wearing a helmet and his head hit the ground.
The authorites took the victim to the provincial hospital. Unfortunately, they weren't able to save his life, he died around noon yesterday (8 April). RIP

The second photo appears to be a white car wing mirror cover. Certainly doesn't look like part of the red bike pictured. What does that have to do with a solo accident?

3:30am and a witness saw him wash out on the side of the road , or no witnesses and potentially a white vehicle involved, now missing its wing mirror cap?
