Drunk Driver Runs Over Bride, 14 Dutch Citizens Hit, in Siem Reap Wedding Disaster

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.

Look how tall the bride is! Certainly looks Dutch.

Don't think it was deliberate. Just a normal Sunday in the boonies.

Someone turning up at a wedding that drunk may well have thought he should be the one getting the bride?!

The truth will out

It sounds more and more like it was deliberate. I could understand being drunk and accidentally hitting the gas instead of the brake or something, but accidentally turning and swerving directly into them ... not so much.

For pickled herring you need to go a bit more north in the direction of Scandinavia.
