Irresponsible speeding expats have run over Cambodians too:

Definitely, but I'd say the locals are winning by a large majority

The police determined that the victim was hit by a car that was being driven in the same direction from south to north;

This happened close to or at the International Village connection with SR 3
North means she had to be heading back to downtown Kampot where she probably lived.

Discovered at 7:30 - that’s well before curfew.

Because the perp didn’t stop she probably pretty much bled out on the road. Minutes count in trauma situations. Those precious minutes were burned in a selfish callous indifference.

I know there are no stats on hit&runs here but It’s safe to say the person who stops is the exception and the ones who run are well north of 90%. It seems to be a cultural thing. It’s root? Who knows?

A Rush to Judgement?

Is it any wonder people involved in accidents run away if they are able to after being involved in an accident.

I re-read the OP before commenting to confirm the details of the accident.... of which there are almost none.
The only thing we know with certainty is:-

perp and the victim were traveling in the same direction.
the car hit the moto and killed the rider.
the rider ended up on the verge/edge of the road.
the driver fled the scene

There is no photo of the accident (well none posted and included in the discussion) and these often provide visual clues as to things such as.. position of vehicles on the road etc.

Now, yes, we all know Khmer drivers are un-skilled and down-right dangerous behind the wheel. But, does that rule hold true for all Khmer drivers?

BUT HE LEFT THE SCENE!!! ..... yes he did... but was he at fault? Until more info about the accident is available we can't know for sure.
Posters have given a few reasons why people leave the scene and someone even mentioned it is actually advised by insurance companies. Why? Because people are quick to judge and dispense justice.


Just an observation....

Well, you could make it easier to embed images.
