Foreign Driver Flips Car and Slips Off

Cambodia News, (Phnom Penh): At 10:30 pm on May 24, 2023, along Russian Federation Road, a foreign man drove a car at high speed to the Chom Chao flyover, when he suddenly swerved and hit the light pole at the base of the bridge, causing the car to perform a spectacular half-flip.

Sources at the scene said that they saw a Chinese driver and two other men in a black Star Rich car, with license plate Phnom Penh 2AN-1175, driving at a furious pace in an east to west direction, when the car hit the pole on the road divider at the base of the flyover. The car spun out and flipped on to one side from the impact; but amazingly, nobody was hurt, the car was only slightly dented, and even the concrete around the pole was more or less intact.

The car driver and the passengers disappeared from the scene, leaving the vehicle in the middle of the road for the traffic police to sort out later.

Well, if by "furious speed" the onlookers meant 40kmph at most I guess that explains the rather light damage considering it got flipped on its side
