Yes, we can see the car - but have not yet seen how it was involved, though it would appear to have had right of way from it's position alone.

I'd be curious to see video footage as to how exactly it happened.

I doubt the dead will argue too much with whatever the final report on the accident says.

Also the reported lady appears to be male.

not the first time that mistake has been made in Cambodia

As I mentioned earlier the report doesn't mention gender as far as I can tell, just that a Cambodian "Gymnast" (exerciser I presume) was killed.

there's now a video up on the freshnews bit and in it there's a dead khmer male with lots of upset people around his body. RIP

Agreed, I'm no CSI but looks like the car was parked by the sidewalk. Maybe they hit the jogger and hit the back of the car after. Only the witnesses will know, if there were any that are still alive. RIP

One of the deceased has been identified as long-time German expat, Achim Eckert. Very sad news.

Here's him in better times:

wrt the bike, then you and I are looking at different images. The one I'm looking at was going very fast.

RIP

Bike was obviously going very fast, as evidenced by the damage and the distance the rider and passenger were thrown.

That strip towards Naga from the monument is speedway alley for big bikes and supercars when traffic is light.

Not making any assumptions about fault, but you've got to be hyper aware around that park with so many doing exercise and so few road users paying attention, adhering to lanes, or triple parking outside of ngon, and no pedestrians bothering to use the zebra crossings at each end.

And there appears to be a car involved also that is not mentioned.

Don't know any of them, I think, but R.I.P to all friends and families of the three deceased.

I must also be looking at a different bike.... And I am guessing the bike careened off the person they hit and into the car.

Yeah, that angle changed my opinion. Definitely some speed involved.

And I knew the identified man. Damn.

That is a big bike and the damage to it seems inconsistent to the damage on the car even including hitting a pedestrian. Appears the bike hit something with great force and it was not the car.
