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.

How could it be the motorcyclist's fault that the car driver fled the scene and didn't hand themselves in to police?

Common sense would tell you, human protected by car metal or motor metal protected by human, which would result in a more serious consequence?
Especially during the night, as you could see from the photo, those youngsters have no fear and each night you could hear all the loud motorcycles speeding off...

I think he means the football player might have been the motorbike driver (perhaps driving recklessly and car hit them). We don't know either way, but reports indicate the car driver was at fault so I'd go with that unless there's evidence otherwise.
