About accidents in Cambodia

Deaths in traffic is the number one killer in Cambodia with over 2.000 deaths per year (2,3k 2015) and over 15.000 injured every year.

In Cambodia this, unless the tragedy for the family also causes poverty and low education when families might sell land, cows, pigs or other assets to purchase the vehicle or the head of the household no longer live or can provide for the family forcing the family to take their children out from school to help work for money and food instead.

The total cost per year including damage, hospital care etc is estimated to over $330 million every year in a country with a average monthly salary around 150-200$ a month.
