Phnom Penh, Cambodia News: At 11:40 pm on May 29, 2019, a luxury high-speed car (police plate 2-5769), driven by a high-ranking police official, crashed into two motorbikes before coming to an abrupt halt after hitting a traffic sign and then smashing into a power pole near Wat Samrong Andet in Phnom Penh Thmey district, Khan Sen Sok. Witnesses say that the driver appeared to be extremely drunk.

The drunk driver has been identified as the Deputy Chief of Traffic Police of Phnom Penh. The official, who was obviously unharmed, left the accident scene almost immediately, and the car was towed away to the police station.

His great love and service to his country and its people always meant he was thinking about what he could do for them, he lived by example. :facepalm:
Silence, exile, and cunning.
