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.

b]Cambodia News[/b] (Phnom Penh): At 7:30 pm on September 15, 2021, in front of Chak Angre Krom pagoda on National Road 2, Khan Mean Chey, a Hyundai sand truck (Kompong Cham 3A-4555), driven by an unidentified local man, collided with a BMW (Phnom Penh 2AG-8797) driven by an unidentified Chinese national. The driver of the BMW tried to squeeze and overtake on the right lane when the truck had already indicated that it was turning right, and as a result, the BMW was sandwiched between the truck and the electric pole. Luckily, no one was injured during the accident.
The traffic police helped ease the traffic and got the two drivers to agree on a resolution. The truck driver agreed to pay for some of the damage to the BMW, even though he was not at fault.

Sand truck operators may be my least favourite Cambodian road users

The sheer amount of pulverized folk on the roads around this little town from their shitty driving is literally criminal

Probably admitted that he confused and surprised everyone by actually indicating correctly what he was going to do

"Agreed to pay"? I doubt it.

I thought it was always the foreigners fault when a Khmer was involved. Times are changing.

No that's always been total BS, usually peddled by some idiot on a barstool

if you assert yourself properly and don't be intimidated you have an excellent chance of a favourable resolution

The driver of the larger vehicle paid for the damage of a smaller foreigners vehicle, even though he was not at fault. Topping it off no drivers ran away.
Always "hope" but never "expect".
