Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.
The Khmer tinfoil hat brigade are on the case.

Oh dear, first Diana and now HRH. More pressure for the PM that he doesn't deserve.

Cambodia Prince Ranariddh injured and wife killed in car crash
A taxi hit the vehicle Prince Norodom Ranariddh, 74, and Ouk Phalla, 39, were travelling in, officials say.
The couple were taken to a local hospital in the Preah Sihanouk province, but Ms Phalla died a few hours later.
They were travelling to meet political supporters when the crash happened.
Prince Ranariddh, the half-brother of King Norodom Sihamoni, leads a political party that is contesting next month's controversial general elections.

That looks like a solid car, the taxi has to be driving at an incredibly high speed to give that massive dent. I assume it comes from the opposite direction...so more likely the driver side would it get smash ...but it was the front passenger passenger seat.

You gotta say - the amount of fortuitous occurances over iron man’s journey. Eerie.
No wonder he believes he is a reincarnation of an angkorean King with a god given right to govern.

Wiki says “Classical dancer” so yes I guess. She was also a descendant of Sisowath. Cambodians have told me she was a hero to many young Cambodians.violet wrote:Tragic. Was his wife an Apsara dancer?

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but the front right wing of the Highlander is smashed way more than the left; that’s the impact point presumably. If coming from the correct lane that implies the vehicle was beyond a 45’ angle and thus swerved very hard to the left before impact, rather than a casual drift/overtaking manouvre into the other lane gone wrong. But then you’d expect the driver of the BMW to sustain more injury than the passenger- unless of course she was not wearing a seat belt- can attest to this being a pain in the ass to get even young Khmer women to do, let alone the mother in law.
If however the Highlander perhaps pulled out from a stationery position on the wrong side to begin with, then it could perhaps better explain the impact on the front right side, and possibly also why the passenger of the BMW took the majority of the impact.
Only other comment is that these folks were no whippersnappers, the Prince has previous on car crashes- maybe it’s just a legitimate accident with some OAP reflexes involved. RIP all the same.
