Driver In Kajang Causes Accident After He Stepped On Oil Pedal While Fainted Due To Hunger

On Wednesday (27 October), a video showing a pickup truck crashing into a vehicle before running over a curb and then run into a roadside stall and a motorcycle went viral on social media.

In the video, it can be seen that the Toyata Hilux had already crashed into a Peroduo Alza and smoke can be seen emitting from the bottom of the vehicle.

The video was taken by another driver and a woman’s voice can be heard saying that the Hilux driver might have fallen asleep.

While things seemed to be under controlled, the Hilux suddenly shoves through the Alza, runs over a curb before crashing into a roadside stall.

The tyres screeching sound can be heard at the background as the Hilux pushes through the Alza, and later knocks over a motorcycle and ended up crashing into a shoplot.

Meanwhile, several passers-by can be seen hitting on the Hilux’s front window in an effort to wake the driver up.

Nonetheless, The Star reported that the incident took place at Taman Jenaris in Kajang, Selangor on Wednesday (27 October) evening.

The Kajang District Police Chief, ACP Mohd Zaid Hassan said the 39 year-old driver was seen driving against the flow of traffic before hitting a car.

Fortunately, there were no injuries reported in the incident.

The police also said that the urine test of the Hilux driver showed a negative result, confirming that he was not under the influence of drugs at the time.
