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.

That looks like a relatively low speed rollover.

I would suspect that being in the pick up bed is not the safest place when such an event takes place.

Would a low speed roll over damage the cabin that much?

Agree about passengers in the back. See it all the time. nice place when all's good, but fucked if even the tiniest shit hits the fan.

Yeah, totally, 90's cars were made from biscuit tins. . You can see it's only been over in a half roll, as the fenders and bumpers and one mirror are undamaged.

The vast majority of vehicles in Cambodia are imported with dubious history. Many have airbags disconnected and shoddy cut and shuts.

On top of that Tacoma’s have zero rollover ratings. (Made in the USA. Dodgy testing etc. Remember the emissions fiasco? Same with star test crash rating - still to come out)
Don’t listen to Chinese whispers.
