A video showing a pickup truck slamming into a vehicle before running over a curb and crashing through a roadside stall and a motorcycle went viral on Facebook on Wednesday, 27 October
The one-minute and 20-second long video begins by showing a Toyota Hilux that is already in a damaged state after it is believed to have crashed into a Perodua Alza.
Smoke can be seen emitting from the bottom of the Hilux. The video was taken by another vehicle and a woman's voice can be heard saying that the Hilux driver might have fallen asleep.
Just as the smoke cloud is about to cover the area, the Hilux suddenly shoves through the Alza, runs over a curb before crashing into a roadside stall.
