A rear-view dashcam video showing two drivers driving recklessly, leading to one of them overturning on KM49.4 of the Kuala Lumpur-Karak Highway, has gone viral on social media
According to the video published by Berita Harian, a black Proton Waja can be seen abruptly cutting into the right lane without signalling, causing a red Honda City speeding from behind to slow down.
As both cars pass a trailer on the two-lane highway, the Honda City driver overtakes the Proton Waja.
The action is believed to have triggered a chase between the two vehicles, with the Proton Waja attempting to overtake the Honda City.
However, the Honda City veers to the left lane, blocking its way.
The two cars then proceed to drive recklessly on the highway as if they were in a bumper car arena, with the Proton Waja ramming into the side of the Honda City.
In retaliation, the Honda City collides with the side of the Proton Waja twice, causing it to lose control and crash into the guardrail.
The Honda City comes to a stop on the emergency lane after the accident. The driver and passengers of the car with the rear-view dashcam can be seen exiting their vehicle to reprimand the Honda City driver.
The incident reportedly took place at around 10.15am on Sunday, 7 April
"As a result of the incident, the driver and passenger of the Proton Waja, aged between 30 and 50, suffered injuries to their heads and hands," Harian Metro quoted Bukit Aman Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department deputy director Datuk Mohd Nasri Omar as saying.
The case is currently being investigated under Section 42(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for reckless driving.
