Driver Decapitated in Collision.

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.

Driver Decapitated in Collision.

Post by Anchor Moy »

Bad driving. RIP.

A National Social Security Fund (NSSF) officer was decapitated when he was involved in a head-on collision with a truck in the early hours of Wednesday morning in Prey Veng province’s Svay Antor district.

District police officer Chim Saran said the officer’s car was in the wrong and was found to have been speeding. The two vehicles were traveling in opposite directions when the Toyota Camry veered into the truck’s lane and crashed into it.

“It happened at 12:30am. We saw the head cut off from the body. The car was driving too fast because after the accident, we saw the speedometer pointing at 120km per hour,” he said.

“The car encroached on the upcoming lane. The truck was driving on the right lane properly, but the small car encroached beyond the yellow line about two meters.

“After the accident, [the car] driver’s head was decapitated from his body. His body remained in the driver’s seat,” he added.

Mr. Saran did not say, however, if the victim was intoxicated but attributed the crash to the driver losing control of his speeding vehicle.

Don't think so, they said:

“After the accident, [the car] driver’s head was decapitated from his body. His body remained in the driver’s seat,” he added."

Guess the head tried to run away from the accident (as they usually do).
