Truck Drives into House, Runs Over Old Lady

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.

A couple of questions-

What is being pixelated, and why? Human Evidence? The initial report suggests her foot was hurt, which is a lucky escape maybe. No point buying the lottery ticket now as the luck has been used elsewhere?*

What did he hit with the windscreen that he managed to avoid damaging the bumpers much?



*I’ve a feeling the pixelation controversy is to be the end of me.

I don't scare easily on the road, but these single axle tipper trucks and the morons that drive them are as dangerous as anything on Cambodian roads

Bad brakes, overloaded, stickers covering the side windows and often most of the windscreen also; an untrained, hormone (and possibly yaba) fuelled youngster at the wheel swerving all over the road, trying to be as fast or faster than all other users of the road, often with an obnoxious exhaust stack modified so they blow their diesel fumes at motorcyclist head level don't make for the best combination going

They literally ran over around ten people within 1km of my house over the past 24 months, including a heavily pregnant young woman and her young daughter, killing them outright. I get that people need landfill trucked in cheap as chips but a line should be drawn somewhere

Sure, besides rarely having operating brakes they are also usually wrong hand drive, they have those orange and red wrong hand drive plates.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
