Cambodia News (Phnom Penh): On the evening of December 8, 2019, at 9:30 pm, an unidentified man, aged about 30-40 years old, smashed his car into a road divider in Russian Federation boulevard, Khan Porsenchey, Phnom Penh. The man was attempting to overtake another car and he had not noticed the road divider in his path.
The vehicle hit the road divider front on, and then overturned, injuring the driver, who was taken to hospital for treatment.

The police were sent to check the accident and they took the damaged car away to keep at the police station following the legal procedure.

Too bad (if) he was wearing a seat belt. No toxicology or impairment tests? The guy's eyes look like he had tipped a dozen or two beers before getting in vehicle. Hopefully he wasn't insured. And, no, that's not a typo.

Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

These dividers are smashed into every night. Drunken fuckers who can barely walk driving around in 2 ton vehicles. What could go wrong? :facepalm:

Is that just a shit T-shirt or did it get dirtied up in the accident? Asking the real questions here.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
