Car Falls Off Ferry and Sinks

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.

Glad no one was injured.

Maybe the driver accidentally put it in 'R' for 'Race'

UPDATE

Kandal: At 08:30 in the morning on August 15, 2021, a police officer drove a Highlander car carrying his wife and children, and he suddenly miscalculated and drove the car off the ferry into the Bassac River, causing severe damage to the car. Fortunately all the family managed to escape the sinking car with the help of local people.

Probably a local ‘big man’ who had to show the villager ferry people that he was brighter than them.

Especially with the wife and kids inside.
