Lucky flip by air-con delivery truck saves it from drowning

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.

Lucky flip by air-con delivery truck saves it from drowning

Prey Veng: At 7 am on March 5 2018, a truck delivering air-conditioning units from Vietnam ran off the road and overturned near the river at Prum Village, Pearang District, Prey Veng.
According to witnesses, the driver was sleepy and fell asleep at the wheel of his truck which veered off the road towards the river. Fortunately the vehicle overturned before it reached the river and no one was hurt. The driver had a rude awakening, and he jumped out of the truck and ran away from the scene of the accident.

The delivery men helped each other to take all the air-con units out of the truck, and then they had a well-deserved breakfast on the riverbank.

I didn't know trucks could drown. Cremating them must be a bitch.
As my old Cajun bait seller used to say, "I opes you luck.

Why would you run away if you haven't crashed into someone else? Surely you just phone your boss for a crane?

I'm sure his boss would be very understanding.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

He'd be more pissed off about all his aircon units getting swiped. Are they his employees walking away with them?
