Drunk Picnicker Drives into a Lake and Drowns

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.

Drunk Picnicker Drives into a Lake and Drowns

Cambodia News (Preah Vihear): On April 25, 2020, a 45-year-old man, Choun Chhean, died after driving his car into a lake at an amusement ground at Moha Phal village, Tbang Meanchey district, Preah Vihear.
Image
Before the incident, a family took their car to relax near the big pond at Moha Phal, and they had some food and drink there.
Image
Unfortunately, after the picnic, the driver was so drunk that when he went to drive the family home he drove the car straight into the lake at high speed. The man was stuck in the car and drowned, and he died on the way to the hospital.
Fortunately, the rest of the family were not yet in the car. The body was returned to the family for funeral preparation.

And, I might add, an excellent way of improving road safety.
