Truck Overturns into Ravine; 3 Dead, 11 Injured

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.

Iced up nutters with acne driving death rigs loaded to the gills with logged wood and no taillights meeting their demise isn't tragic.

Update: The drivers survived, but ran away. 17 passengers, but no witnesses. Police are still looking for the owner of the truck.

Mondulkiri accident kills 2, injures 12
September 5, 2018
Two people died and several others were injured when a truck carrying lumber and 17 persons veered off a mountain road in Mondulkiri province’s Sen Monorom commune shortly after noon on August 4 (Tuesday). The injured have been sent to the Mondulkiri provincial referral hospital.

Due to the lack of witnesses, the police know little about the exact course of events – the driver and the two co-drivers fled the scene before the police arrived.
