Lexus Driver Walks Away From Spectacular Crash

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Cambodia News, (Phnom Penh): At 2:30am on April 6, 2022, there was a case of a man driving a Lexis RX330 car at high speed, oversteering, hitting a road barrier, splitting the road completely, and breaking three wheels of the car in a spectacular crash along Street 271 in Sangkat Boeung Tumpun I, Khan Meanchey, Phnom Penh.
Image
According to sources at the scene, prior to the incident, a white Lexus RX 330 with license plate Phnom Penh 2AL-0026 was seen traveling along Route 271 from north to south at high speed when it hit the stone road barrier, and completely overturned, losing three wheels in the process.
Image
Despite the extreme violence of the crash, the driver left his car, apparently unharmed, and disappeared from the scene before the police arrived. Then the competent experts came down to the site, took the car and stored it at the Land Traffic Office of the Phnom Penh Municipal Police, waiting for the driver to show up and claim his vehicle.

6 is even.

The crash did split the road completely, though.

He's given that road divider one hell of a thump.

When are they going to install CCTV's on all these major roads? There is at least one crash a week, often more. Throw in an occasional shooting incident and in less than a year you have a TV show that updates every week.

They might even be used to identify the drivers fleeing the scene.

I can't see the owners of the car wanting to just leave the car with the authorities. If they have run away, what are they going to do! Claim their car was stolen, and when seen running by CTV, say that wasn't me, my Covid19 mask is black not white.
