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.

Cambodia News, (Banteay Meanchey): At 8:20 pm on June 16, 2022, in O Snguot Village, Banteay Meanchey Province, a truck driver crossed the railway tracks without looking and got hit by a train.

Colonel Sin Narak, police inspector of Mongkul Borei district, said that a white Hyundai truck, license plate Phnom Penh 3D-5575, traveling along National Road 159C in the direction from east to west, was crossing the railway line without being careful, when a train from ROYALRAILWAY company, running in the direction from south to north, crashed in the truck and dragged it along the railway tracks for a length of 38.50 meters.

The inspector confirmed that no one was injured in the accident, and because it was due to careless driving by the truck driver, the train driver was not held responsible for the accident.
It was mentioned that the trains on that line rarely travel at night, so the local people are not used to taking precautions when crossing the tracks.

I still think we should have a special thread for Cambodian Trains.

For the sake of pedantacy, I would think "dragged" is normally from the rear
