A BRIT backpacker has tragically died in a horrific hit-and-run with a truck.
The man, 40, lost control of his motorbike when he collided with a truck carrying construction materials in Cambodia.
He was reportedly thrown from his seat and crushed under the wheels of the trailer.
The truck driver is understood to have fled the scene after the accident.
Passing motorists pulled over and called the emergency servicesÂ
Cops arrived at the scene and found the Brit lying dead in a pool of blood on the dusty ground.
His off-road style scrambler bike was wedged under the truck several yards in front of him.
A police spokesman said: “The victim’s body was taken to the hospital for a post-mortem examination.
“Both vehicles were impounded for further investigation. The driver of the truck was not at the scene, but his details were obtained later.
“The cause of the crash is still under investigation. If the truck driver caused the death, he will be prosecuted.”
