After a serious car accident which killed her two grandmothers, a niece and her mother, Sok Pisey (pictured) has gained sympathy from people everywhere, including a sympathetic gesture from her nemesis, Kim Heng, owner of K.H. Promotions who sued her over breach of contract and now agreed to withdraw the suit out of respect for her unfortunate situation. The withdrawal of a law suit by Mr. Kim Heng is considered good news for Sok Pisey.

Other good news are that, since the accident on the 14th of April, Sok Pisey had received helps and donations from other artists, generous people as well as businesses. The wine company, Randonal, has donated US$5,000 toward her treatments and as a consolation and condolences to her for the loss of her 4 relatives in the accident.

On the first day of her accident there were rumours circulating that Sok Pisey had died from the accident. There were some other rumours which said that she survived the accident but was paralysed from one side of her body. In fact she just had a broken thigh and a minor cut on the right side of her face.

Doctors at Calmette Hospital said that, after operations to implant a steel plate in the thigh and the treatments of her facial injuries, she has now recovered. She was not taken for treatments in Vietnam as was rumoured. Latest news coming out of the hospital is that Sok Pisey will be discharged from the hospital in the next 4-5 days.

Up until today, news of the deaths of her grandmothers, a niece and her mother has not been told to her. Her father, Mr. Sok Heng, who is a military officer, wish to hide the deaths of these people as long as he could so as not to shock her that might make her conditions worsened.

The cause of the accident has been attributed to high speed. Her Lexus veered of a bent road and hit 5 roadside poles before plunging to the fields killing 4 people.
