This is mad, even by Malaysian standards. A car has been caught on dashcam video ramming into a police patrol car at full speed, before leaving the scene immediately. Not an accident, for sure.
The timestamp on the dashcam recording reads June 22, and it’s just past 9am in the morning. Traffic is flowing along Jalan Pudu towards the Jalan Hang Tuah and Jalan Imbi intersection, which is now a seamless underpass. Fast forward to 3:00.
As the recording car climbs up the underpass towards Pudu Sentral, a VW Polo zooms by at speed towards a Proton Waja police patrol car – both are on the left lane. The Polo rams into the Waja at high speed, and both scrape the left side of the underpass wall. With nose to tail, the VW driver steps on the gas, pushing the Proton to the right-sided divider.
The mangled police car ends up facing oncoming traffic, and two officers, one with a rifle, walk out of their car looking bewildered. The VW? It sped away from the scene without pausing for one second. As if this incident wasn’t bizarre enough, it happened right in front of PDRM’s KL headquarters!
The real story? Your guess is as good as ours.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Nearby to this Hang Tuah intersection is the Kuala Lumpur Police Headquarters.
Bukit Aman is located at another different area.
The driver may be lucking getting away but not so lucky when he/she goes to repair at VW service centre and wait forever for spareparts to come
Small continental versus Warjuk!
No bad for VW body huh?
Useless conti handling sucks
That one is not an incident, the drunk owner did it purposely. It not handling problem.
That one is not an accident. The drunk owner did it on purpose. It’s not the handling problem.
It’s German built with German technology and very strong. After ramming Proton pon boleh continue like nothing happened! Kesian pulak tenguk Waja tu…tak waja langsung! Polis tu fening kpala!
wow..just wow..
well i think the driver was caught napping…at the last minute we can see it hit the brake before slamming into the waja’s but..then “she” panicked and floor the fuel pedal instead and ran away.
could be intentional as well. just an opinion :P
It was definitely intentional!
It brake last minute a bit to avoid engine from failing and stopping air bag to deploy.
Which was perfectly executed on both parts.
why “she”… haha.. to early to judge bro…
nowadays even boys drive like an idiot…
The ‘she’ is to justify that ‘she’ is too afraid to stand up for ‘her’ doings…
Yeah, not sexist AT ALL.
thats is not Bukit Aman HQ, that is near Police KL HQ.
its 2 different place..!!!
i don’t know who you are, but we will find you, and i will kill you~
Taken 1 dialogue :)
not bukit aman hq, it IPK Kuala Lumpur hq at jalan pudu
Ini macam x syok dgn saman traffic tadi kot…
Thats IPK KL. Not Bukit Aman.
The station located there is Ibu Pejabat Kontijen Kuala Lumpur, Bukit Aman is located somewhere else.
The real story? Dude was a kid below 20, high on drugs.
How I know, I knew him.
elton…some guy born in ’94, car plate WWS 7XXX?
elton, guy born ’94, plate WWS 7XXX? psycho guy that thinks he gonna die soon?
Frontal direct collision.airbag(s) did not deploy?
Gta kuala lumpur
He started braking before the impact though. How odd.
Stupid driver. At tht area u easily kena tangkap punya, byk cctv.
Das Auto!
That’s the power of German engineering!
Pretty sure someone in VAG must be going, “Hmm, das ist fun, ja?”
Or probably… TSI + DSG just kicked in, yo!
Over, and out.
Remember the VW Polo advert – used by terrorist trying to blow up in the street, but ended up blowing himself inside the car because Polo is tough! Haha…..
Conti sorhai turbo kicks in like drug addict. Please buckle up and close shop
Now call 999 and wait 1 hour. 3rd party tow car will arrive in 5 min.
and the polis themselves say cant catch..lol
Maybe he was texting then found himself in running into the police cars backside. If you noticed, he did slam on the brakes at the last min. I guess that was the moment he/she realized he/she was about to ram into the back of the police car. After that…apa lagi lari lah! What else should you do after ramming into the police? nak kena tembak ke?
Texting is quite unlikely as the car travelled at very high speed. Maybe he/she just wanted to be a speed demon and when suddenly the police apeared in front it was too late to brake/avoid. He/she rammed and got panic, the brain lost it’s thinking function so the right foot continued pressing on the pedal the impulse reaction “told” him/her to run away… the “brain malfunction” is similar to those women drivers who got panic when parking and then hit other cars/wall again and again…
Amazed, GTA in real life lol.
Brake light came on just before impact, as if perp just realized crash imminent. So, unintentional.
So no recall?
suruh tukar baru kereta MPV baru lah tu
Looks like the polo driver deliberately ram the police car. Doesn’t look like its an accident or driver fell asleep because the way the polo overtake cars is of an alert driver driving it.
A lesson here. Don’t speed when exiting tunnel. Sudden light will blind u for seconds and that seconds will cause u a lot…..
Agreed….
That why people need secure dark tinted from sun and thief etc, it for people safety.. Why JPJ dont want to do understand this. Or they wait something more like this happen?
Those officers were starstrucked. So polo driver drove away with air bag on his/her face afterwards maybe?
Hidden due to lowcomment rating. Click here to see.
The VW hit an empty trunk. That’s almost 500 litres of crumple zone. Try both in a head-to-head collision. The Waja would still fare worse, but I doubt the VW could still be driven away after hitting a 120kg block of aluminium (the engine).
Real life GTA!
Well, who can make fun of the VW for always breaking down now? Sapu polis car also can still run…
All you VW haters, try doing that in your Vios and City and Myvi’s
If vios, car will flip becuz no VSC.
VW is junk. Police dun go after the car not because it can run from police.
Vomit my dinner
VW is not junk, it’s just vw too reliable even after rammed to waja but still can run that fast but waja totally spoiled can’t even move lol.
i just hope this incident will not void the polo warranty.
DSG jammed
Pls do not name Myvi again. It’s already enough for it to take pajero sport.
Polo airbag can be turn off. If he no intension to hit the police. For sure wont run away
After ram still can drive away. Rock solid VW
The VW airbag did not deploy, otherwise it would obstruct the driver view. Safety failure for VW
I think the Polo driver’s vision was temporarily blinded while exiting tunnel, as u can see from the view cam, vision blurred when exiting.
He/She tried to brake but too fast, thus rammed into the unlucky police patrol car. Luckily the policeman wasn’t at standby position, or else the Polo driver will be shot. Look at the policeman holding machine gun when came out of car!
All in all, my 2 cents opinion is this is just a freak accident involving police patrol car
Luck it’s just hit a car, what if this vw ran in to others people especially school kids. There will be no mercy…
maybe he follow rapat the dashcam car and then overtake dengan confidentnya while texting or something. after overtake continue texting and cannot see the waja because silau much. saja teka2
I think it was not intentional, but, when he realize it was a police car, hmm, ran away
Driver caught. This idiot crash 3x last year. And hit my fren on bike. Noebhe hit police car drunk driving.
Looks more like revenge than accident. Maybe they already target one of the police officer. Cause that VW just RAM….. and it also make sure at full speed plus kept accelerating if possible “over turn”. That’s why our Home Ministry dare to say our country is safe. Police also they don’t give a bloody damn. Really like GTA V PS 4 game!!!! Scary!!!!
I think the fellow driving the polo is texting on his phone while driving and by the time he exit the tunnel only he notice the in front of him driving slower than him.
You see, most of the comments above never really condemn the vw driver, in fact they tried to give reasons and excuses for the drivers.
AND THAT IS THE MALAYSIAN LOGIC OF THINKING.
How to condemn VW driver lor? Dable stendert maa..Imagine if this were some other type of vehicle or driver. Sure go crazy blame blame blame , play the victim card wan.
dsg suddenly gave way…
Would be interesting to see tow truck vultures trying to tarik the kereta polis. |Hahaha
Need For Speed: No Limits
Vw drebar panicked and press kaw the pedal.. polisi as if ready to shoot the fella :)
Tomorrow’s new will be vw drebar serah diri at polisi station.
Imagine is not police car but NGV TAXI! Gas tank at the back….Badaboom!!!
Wait… What happened actually?? Noticed?? Air bags in Polo didn’t blow??
Driver dozed off, foot got heavy on the gas pedal. The resulting collision woke him up, he realised what just happened, panicked, and sped off.
Love the ‘bye bitch’ getaway.
Clap clap clap! last time when i got hit, and run away, police told me cant catch even got number plate!
Double standard. Imagine if instead if it’s a myvi i/o vw…
Jackie Chan shooting movie here?
I thought this is fast 8 filiming in jalan pudu?
And that’s why my dear PT readers, our insurance premiums are going up. The majority of us with clean records are funding idiots like this.
Airbag not blow becoz that vw driver not wearing a seatbelt
I just wonder, with this kind of hitting, the driver still able to drive? the polo’s airbag didn’t pop out?
Why it didn’t deploy? Takata faulty airbags?
wow.. kecik-kecik sudah bawa VW Polo
Ini scene dalam filem fast and furious versi kl ke?
I was once hit the same way from the rear. The driver tried to run away but his engine failed. I could hear the driver shouted at his partner for not waking him up.
Driver already caught by the cops. A young guy that looks a bit lalok..
suck VW driver
Looks like getting even with these policemen…something had heppened between them before this incident.
this thing happens becoz many ppl thing the road is their playground…especially those young driver… the jpj need to educate ppl about the basIc of driving realistically in the realworld..if F1 driver still can lost control in a protected environment, plz dun tell me regular driver wont…
Ermm why didnt the police immediately call for backup or assistance via radio? Weird
The vw driver must have been on drugs or drunk or psychology unstable. A person without simptom above will stops immediately after first collision, not continuesly ram that car. Even if the vw driver was texting, he/she will stops and pause for a moment and continue run away if he/she wants to cabut la after realised it’s a police car.
VW polo buat jadi kereta polis- hehe kereta polo tu x perasan sebab dalam terowong gelap bila keluar terowong baru perasan sebab cahaya— keta polis kaler putih– ba-da-bim-ba-da-boom–
Most probably he is drunk….the driver break few sec before hit the police car…but is too late…
Airbag must hv blown in previous accidents & not replaced.
“The driver of the Volkswagen was a 21-year old private college student was believed to have lost control of his car before ramming the police car,” he said adding that youth was believed to be intoxicated while driving. He added that driver and the police officers only sustained minor injuries and a police report was lodged by the student.

Mabuk. Please used your sit belt. Tq.
Irresponsible act. If he/she can inflict an act to injure to a police officer, what about the general public?
Ever consider our family member may or could become a victim?
don’t play play with VW
Weird. This article din come out when I use chrome. dunno why.
Now too late to post inside tip, LGE will be the driver’s lawyer and will get him released cuz its always police fault. Not de rakyat.
I wonder how the other prisoners will treat this if he ends up in prison…. hero… or fast and easy…
Hilang pandai…..what else can you do….blurred….even beacon light pun tak nyala lagi….bye bye…luckyly ur life tak bye bye aswell
Maybe he/she was late for morning briefing..over slept for work and the rest is history
is there any person in this comment saw the damage on that POLO? why some people assuming that the POLO is still ok and running well after collision? the front must be heavily damage… radiator might be damage and leaking, draining coolant resulting engine over heating, aircond piping or compressor damage, body structure damage…
that volkswagen might be look like still run OK for few KM, but who knows after that…
HAHA.. habis laa… i really want to know who is driving that POLO…
Let’s try with other cars? even a few km also cannot move. Instant engine dead. lol
he could have killed somebody. I hope JPJ revoke his driving license forever.
If you people had actually read the news you would know that it was a 22 year old student that eventually turned himself in to the police later that day. The strange part is that 1) The vw polo airbag did not deploy upon impact, and 2) All good cars have a fuel kill switch when a certain G force is applied to it, but this vw doesnt seem to have it. VW cars in malaysia are really built down to a price.
