American Expat Couple Injured in Kampot Motorbike Accident

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.

There is a helmet to the mans right in three of the pics. It may be the injured mans.
In which case we have to ask who is the dumass.

Yea I wondered about the helmet but if he was wearing it and it was strapped up then he should not have received that head injury as it would have been protected.

Yeah, no way he would have been injured like that with a helmet...perhaps not strapped up or maybe his wife was wearing it?

He could have been wearing the brain bucket sytle of £2.50 helmet popular with many here.

They offer zero protection.

Then I apologise to the expats. The injury to his forehead looks like he took a big hit just where his helmet should have been, so maybe he just had a helmet failure

Cava Shehon
That's a proper American name. The surname is probably a bastardization of the Irish "Sheehan", while the given name is just some made-up weird shit. Throw a few x's or z's in and it'd be right up to date. 8-)

Clearly her mother's favourite tipple :beer3:
