Care-free moto riders be warned: there’s always a car lurking behind a corner.

A motorist had his leg broken after he sped through a crossroads early yesterday in Phnom Penh’s Chamkarmon district.

The man, 22, was driving fast through empty streets in the middle of the night.

But he was suddenly hit by a car after he rushed through an intersection.

The man was seriously injured and sent to hospital, while police are still on the lookout for the car, which sped away.
