A member of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces involved in fatal hit-and-run while driving an RCAF vehicle will not be charged, police said yesterday.

The driver, identified as Phnom Penh resident Sorn Sambath, crashed into Pan Pon, 19, who was riding a moto on National Road 6 in Kampong Thom’s Santuk district on Wednesday. Sambath fled as Pon died.

Kampong Thom traffic police chief Rum Sovichea said the deceased student was at fault. “He drove carelessly and turned left into the gas station and got hit by the car,” he said.
