18Yo Driver Drives Up a Tree

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's a fantastic parking job. I often wonder how the hell this can even happen but then the guy was probably speeding down the road and flipped and after a few spins ended up ass-backwards stuck in a tree? It reminds me of that movie "The Gods Must Be Crazy ". In that a Landrover ended up winching itself up a giant tree. I think the movie was banned in many of our countries but it's worth checking out.

Quite an accomplishment. He drove up a tree in reverse gear!

The two Gods Must be Crazy movies are timeless and fantastic, the second one even better than the first.

H wasn't sure if his dad told him to put the tree in the trunk or the trunk in the tree so he thought he'd play it safe.

One of the few movies where I laughed so hard that I was sore for a few days. I lived in Africa at the time, so it resonated a lot.
