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.

Carnage on Monivong: accident causes 3 dead and 6 injured

Carnage on the road in Phnom Penh last night around 6pm, outside the Boeung Trabek High School. The terrible accident was caused by a single vehicle, who was reportedly traveling in the correct direction when it hit another car,damaging a door, just after the Bokor traffic lights. This apparently caused the driver to panic, because he then turned the car around and attempted to flee in the opposite direction at high speed, against the traffic. The vehicle hit seven motorbikes, bringing it to a halt, as bystanders chased the car, pelting it with stones. Bodies of the dead and injured were strewn along the road, covered in blood in the wake of the car's passage. The driver was dragged from the car by an angry mob and was seriously injured before he was rescued and taken into custody by the police.
Among the three dead were twin girls and a man. No identities have been released yet. RIP

It wasn't outside the High School, it was in front of the Sathapana Bank near the MRC.

Let's see if it will be like when the Doctor's daughter mowed down a bunch of people a few years ago. If I remember correctly, she got a slap on the wrist as she was under examination stress (and nothing to do with the fact that her Dad was/is a high-ranking government official).

In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

I hope this was sarcasm :facepalm: One of the reason these "i hit one car little -> panic -> i try escape and then accidentally hit more people" things happens because of this "beat the the guy who crashed" attitude in Cambodia. I just wish you never accidentally hit anyone when driving out there.

Yep, so they say. So they want to give justice themselves.
