Westerner in Moto Crash Disagrees with a Lexus

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.

It is just about visible here, showing the resting position.

I'd hazard a guess that the dude was already halfway across the junction and totally misjudged the speed of the Lexus which has made a last ditch attempt to swerve to the right to avoid collision, but failed. Bike hits the front corner, taking off the front bumper & all the usual plastic crap, with a decent buckle of the bonnet/hood; and off down the road with the car momentum instead of the direction he was originally heading. #ForensicsAmateur

I was quite surprised by the car damage too, but apparently those Yamaha Tmax 530s weight around 200kgs, and about double a typical Honda Wave (100kg) - plus his own weight (and passenger?) is a good load to boot.

Still, walked away by the look of it - hard as nails. :BangHead:
Meum est propositum in taberna mori,
ut sint Guinness proxima morientis ori.
tunc cantabunt letius angelorum chori:
"Sit Deus propitius huic potatori."
