Incident: Russian Embassy Car Hits a Drug Squad Car in Attempted Hit and Run

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Phnom Penh: On March 29 at 10:30 pm, an unidentified foreigner driving a Russian Embassy car reportedly hit a police car and attempted to run away at Sky Bridge 5 Makara, Sangkat Tuek Laork1, Khan Toul kok, Phnom Penh.

In a minor accident, a Lexus, driven by an individual claiming to be a police officer working for the drug squad, was scraped on the right hand side by a Kia belonging to the Russian Embassy. The unidentified foreign driver in the Kia then took off at high speed attempting to flee the scene of the accident. After a high-speed chase, he was caught by police near the Ministry of National Defense.
The policeman in the Lexus was well pissed off, and when he caught up with the hit and run driver, he got out of his car and smashed the back windscreen of the foreigner's car.
After the incident, the police went to submit the case to the Phnom Penh traffic police because the incident involved a Russian Embassy vehicle.

I've always wanted to go in there, it has vast grounds. The apartments where the US withdrawal "Eagle Pull" was conducted have always looked empty, you can see them from that road that goes from Sothearous around to the Australian Embassy. They were not part of the Russian compound till the 80s, and in the Pol Pot regime they were where the leadership lived and worked.
