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.

Cambodia News, (Kampot province): On the afternoon of July 31, 2021, on National Road 3 in Damnak Trop Khang Tbong village, Kraing Snay commune, Chhouk district, a 70yo motorcyclist, Yim Nhor, 70, living in Kampong Tralach village, Kep city, died after he was hit by a dump trunk who did not give way.

At 1:30 pm on July 31, 2021, a traffic accident occurred on National Road 3 between a dump truck and a motorcycle. Before the incident, the victim was seen riding his motorcycle alone in the direction from east to west, when the dump truck cut quickly in front of him and hit the motorcycle.

The truck then dragged the motorcycle and the owner stuck below along on the dirt road for a certain distance, when the driver stopped and ran away, leaving a 5-ton white Hyundai with license plate Kampot 3A-1644. When the neighbors came to help the injured motorcyclist, they saw that he was dead and they called the police.

What a unnecessary situation, 70 years old, the guy will have seen plenty in his lifetime here, and his life ended by a truck. I will not say a negligent truck driver because we don't know the reasons behind the accident. But again we read of the driver running from the scene of an accident where he is involved, You would think the driver would be identified to the police by the truck owner and employee.
I wonder if they will ever make the law here, for people involved in a accident to stay at the site and not flee.
