Speeding moto driver killed while overtaking
A 21-year-old man was killed while trying to overtake a car on his motorbike in Siem Reap province on Thursday. A witness reported that the car and the bike were travelling in the same direction, when the bike began to overtake the car on the right hand side. However, he clipped the car and came off, “breaking his head” on the road. The car fled the scene as the man remained on the road, bleeding to death. Police said the victim died because he did not wear a helmet and drove “very fast”. Police are searching for the driver.
