Cambodia News (Phnom Penh): At 2:30 am, on May 11, 2022, on Street 215, in Sangkat Vealvong, Khan 7Makara, a Royal Cambodia Armed Forces (RCAF) Ford pickup truck (RCAF 012-1462), driven by a man who appeared to be drunk, crashed into a street light that fell onto a tuk-tuk. Fortunately, no one was in the tuk-tuk ;it was parked on the side of the street.

The truck turned over on its side and later was taken away by the traffic police. Although the identity of the drunk driver wasn't revealed, he was apparently a member of the RCAF. Both damaged vehicles were taken to the police station for further proceedings. The tuktuk owner is demanding compensation.

Very lucky to not be sitting on the tuk.

I wish these army guys would have a bit more decorum. It's embarrassing.

I hope it's got a bright light to show up all his other military medals.
