car, causing damage. The car owner demanded $ 1,000 in damages, but mediated to end the
story to $ 150.

The accident happened at 12:20 pm on November 24, 2022 along National Road 1 in
Sangkat Niroth, Khan Chbar Ampov, Phnom Penh.

According to sources at the scene, before the incident, a Chinese man was seen driving a
white Hyundai Vigo with license plate Phnom Penh 2 AM-2198 from west to east along
National road 1. Near Wat Niroth, a moto-trailer came in the same direction, driving at high
speed. The motorcycle’s brakes did not work, and it slammed into the back of the Vigo.

translate and coordinate for almost an hour, then the Chinese car owner agreed to accept $
150 in compensation to end the story on the spot.
