Phnom Penh: At 11:30 pm on September 10, 2020, along Street 217 in front of Stung Meanchey Pagoda in Sangkat Stung Meanchey I, Khan Meanchey, Phnom Penh, a drunk man drove off the road and on to the sidewalk, hitting a pedestrian.

Prior to the incident, a man was seen driving a white Prius, with license plate Phnom Penh 2AG-2607, traveling from east to west, arriving in front of Stung Meanchey pagoda. The unidentified man was driving erratically, and he swerved to the right and hit a man on the sidewalk, causing serious injuries. The victim was rushed to a nearby hospital.

Local authorities arrived at the accident scene, and the car owner admitted to his mistake, and agreed to pay $1,300 to the victim to end the story.
