Hunt for BMW GS After 81 Year Old Killed in Hit and Run

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.

Had to Google that... https://www.cambodiadaily.com/news/poli ... man-68651/

“The driver was a girl who is about 20 years old and she has not come to clarify what happened yet,” he said. “Her dad is a tourist police officer.”
Mr. Kunthea said he did not remember the name of the police officer, nor his daughter, and refused to reveal the official’s rank.

What happened to the girl? I'm assuming she got a new Range Rover.

Of course she got a new Range Rover and the Irish guy got shipped back to Ireland courtesy of a GoFundMe.

My bad. Didn't see that front fender picture as I don't click on Facebook links. Seems to be her indeed. What's funny is she's doing what any Khmer would do, but there's some hoohah in part because she's a foreigner. I've noticed people are increasingly annoyed by hit and runs, but as mentioned paying up would have solved it quickly, or rather, leaving the scene but contacting police would have been best (to avoid the gathering crowds). Some of those elderly folk on bicycles or motorbikes ride around like they're still in the village in 1948 though, it's pretty crazy the lack of awareness they sometimes have, but I guess that comes with being old.

Nothing. I just meant the road they lived on was 3m wide and had zero motorized traffic, so one could turn without bothering to look over one's shoulder?

Always makes me wonder how they managed to get that old in the first place the way they ride.

This! Combined with the blind right turn into traffic, not looking when crossing the roads, and the rice wine consumption, how do they get past their 20s?

Red string?

She has a normal fb profile. Back to regular life I guess. Still in Singapore, but she does travel between ID and MY on a monthly basis. Perhaps the government here can catch her when she's outside SG. But as long as she stays in sg, she's safe.
