IPOH – Police are conducting an investigation into a viral video showing a group of motorcyclists berating a motorist on the emergency lane at KM370-northbound of the North-South Highway near Sungkai yesterday.
Muallim district police chief Mohd Hasni Mohd Nasir said a report on the incident had been lodged and investigations found that the Mazda sports utility vehicle (SUV) driver, aged 34, who was travelling from Kuala Lumpur to Ipoh, had stopped in the emergency lane because his pregnant wife was feeling nauseous.
“As soon as he was about to continue his journey, a Toyota Alphard multi purpose vehicle (MPV) suddenly entered the lane, causing him to brake suddenly.
“At that moment, a Yamaha Y15ZR motorcycle which was passing through the lane managed to brake but was hit by another Honda RS150R motorcycle, which went on to hit the MPV.
“Soon after that, a Benelli RFS150 motorcycle hit the Honda RS150R motorcycle from behind, and enraged by the collision, the motorcyclists started to vent their anger towards the Mazda SUV driver,” he said in a statement today.
“All the motorcyclists involved suffered minor injuries while the vehicles were slightly damaged,” he said while advising the public to stop sharing the video. – Bernama, September 17, 2022
