Cambodia News (Phnom Penh): On May 2020, at 2 am, a PassApp tuk-tuk smashed into a road divider, causing two men to get injured, on 7 Makara highway, Russian Federation road, Khan Sen Sok, Phnom Penh.

The driver of a PassApp tuk-tuk, plate no. PP1HY-9358, was carrying one passenger along the highway when he was hit by a passing car, pushing the tuk tuk into a road divider.

You are flocking joking, right?
PassApp sends these poxy low-riding low-down yellow-livered rat cages to do battle against the undefeated Cambodian Road Dividers?
Just because they cannot see over the top?

Everybody knows all free and independent men with balls of steel and reinforced concrete drive real Tuk Tuks - or high ride in one like a king.

It's good to see that the ''crumple zone '' that was built in to the design of the tuk-tuk worked so well.

Pretty amazing, when new to Cambodia all these biscuit tins were $1600.

Then greed kicked in.

Anyhow that tuk tuk must have really been clipping along to smash the barrier so hard, even if punted by a car. Driver probably won't make it. Poor guy.
