Fortunately, the victim suffered only minor injuries from the incident, although she could have been killed if the rod had hit her instead of her motorbike.

However, the truck driver accepted responsibility for the accident and to pay for the damage to the motorbike. The truck driver ended up agreeing to pay the woman US$100 as compensation.

This is legitimately one of my biggest fears when riding. Glad she's ok.

Me too. Could be lethal.
But, apart from the badly loaded trucks, there're also those large panes of glass that are carried sideways on the back of a motorbike, (always freaks me out), and the horizontal ladders can be a challenge ...

Happy she's okay, i atill drive like its Mario kart and everyone is out to get me.

Would be cool if someone could make a Mario kart version with Cambodian traffic..

Moto with chickens hanging on the sides
Moto with pigs on the back
Moto with 5+ people
Moto with big glass panels
Moto with a long ladder
Moto with Frezy boys
Asshole car drivers
Overloaded trucks without working breaks
Drunk drivers
Chinese drivers with a road divider fetish

Nightmode where 80% of traffic drives without lights.

And of course gruesome replays when there are accidents (maybe the young generation will learn from it)

but he has the compulsary sign on the back of the load,
maybe the lady on the bike didnt read it because it was at least a little dirty,
but of course, that sign they put on for the photo to show how responsable the driver in fact was. Knever saw it in KOW before, hahaha !!
And ofcourse she didnt keep distance behind the truck, if so, she had the time to react and avoid the object. Probably she was on the phone with the daughter in law !! ??

This reminds me of this terrible incident with a friend's sister-in-law a good few years back. She had gone to university and had done quite well, not rich yet but aspirational. Warning - Don't read on if you are sensitive.
So she was on her way home along one of the national routes out of town from work one evening, on her motorbike. This particular road has a few bends along its length. A truck broke down. Carrying rebar. Loose rebar, not so much like in the picture above. It was dark and the truck had no lights on. So she rounded the bend and went straight into the back of this bunch of spears. She died instantly but they had terrible trouble trying to get her corpse off the many bars that pierced her body. It was a tragedy.
