SUKE highway accident caused by Myvi stopping on emergency lane to take in KL view – rider injured

This was bound to happen, and it didn’t take long. Just two days after the Sungai Besi-Ulu Kelang Elevated Expressway (SUKE) opened to the public, we have our first accident on the highway. And from a very expected scenario – cars stopping by the emergency lane to take in the panoramic views of KL city.

According to Ampang Jaya district police chief Mohamad Farouk Eshak, the incident between a yellow Myvi and a motorcycle happened yesterday (September 18) at around 2.45 pm. The exact location is an expected one – a kilometre down from the Bukit Teratai toll plaza, where the left side of the highway transitions from cliff to a wide, panoramic view of Kuala Lumpur.

The cop said that the driver was here to take in the sights, as all of us did. When parked at the emergency lane, the motorcycle crashed into the Myvi’s rear. Fortunately, the rider only suffered minor injuries. He was taken to Hospital Ampang for treatment.

The case is being investigated under the “halangan sehingga menyebabkan kemalangan” rule and the guilty party can be issued a RM300 compound.

Over the weekend, many motorists were seen stopping on the emergency lane of this scenic SUKE stretch to take in the admittedly gorgeous views. You’ve seen the pics from reader Nic Wang, and I myself encountered a full row of parked cars yesterday night, at the same spot. I was cruising on the leftmost lane and a door from a parked Saga swung open. Occupants of the cars were also moving around the place. Very, very dangerous.

Please do not stop on the emergency lane for pictures, as it’s both dangerous and illegal. Also, if more accidents happen, the police will mark it as a hotspot and you’ll spoil it for everyone else, just like what happened at the “New Zealand” stretch of the Temiang-Pantai road in Negeri Sembilan. Cruise by all means, but do not stop. Also, while taking in the nice feel of the elevated highway and its scenes, continue to pay attention on the road and your lane. Drive safe.

Full details on the SUKE, plus pics here.

        Throw the driver only… Offenders* will know even better and faster :-/

        (…drivers are usualy much more biodegradable compared to Myvi – Think better, think greener and say no to evil plastic straw… that kill millions of innocent turtles in the sea and trillions of Bambis in the wood… )

    RM300 compound? That’s super cheap. When somebody got visibly injured should at least be a few thousand ringgit.

    By right motorcyclist also need to give summon for driving and speeding at emergency lane without aware of condition in front. To be fair both parties should be penalized and not assuming emergency lane is specially for motorcycle

      Exactly!!! Let’s officially declare “landscape selfieing on emergency lanes”, an emergency !

      Hey? Why not amenaging selfie-spot every 200m on emergency lanes Malaysia wide? Fu%k poor motorcyclistes! Hey? Look at this chipo dude riding with sleepers? How ugly to see ! Emergency lanes should be reserved for TurboSelfyCitizen and fully vaccinated people.

      Ambulances? Nah… can use the fast lane like Karens at 90kmh… LOL

      • I’d prefer they stayed at emergency lane rather than lane filtering between cars at 110kmph. Motors can avoid stopped vehicles as long as ample warnings with hazards, triangle and beacon light is given ahead. How this accident happen was caused by that Myvi did not put on any notice. You can see the hazards wasn’t even turned on.

  • Did the car suddenly brake and the motorcyclist hit it?
    Or the motorcyclist hit a bright yellow stationary car?

    Yes, stopping on emergency lane to take pic is wrong. But if you can’t judge the distance infront of you and you’re not willing to slow down or avoid it, then you deserve to hit an inanimate/stationary object.

    • That’s a bikers’ lane. No need to pay toll but they still get a dedicated lane. Welcome to Malaysia, a country that welcomes mat rempits with open arms so that they vote for you.

      Only animals don’t believe in pills and vaccines marketing to adapt and survive… In fact, animals will never sacrify their health for an illusion of safety…

      No animals would ever accept to get injected with an unknown substance in order to boost the pharmaceutical market…

  • Compounded by the fact that most car driver don’t turn on their hazard lights whenever they stop at the emergency lane. They only turn it on when there is heavy downfall and among (?police) escort vehicles when escorting VIPs.

    All parties are at fault here.
    1. Motorist who stop at emergency lane to take pictures. These spots are at the bends, so during daytime without the reflection of tail lights, kinda hard to know if any car stop besides.

    2. Bike who rode at the emergency lane. They should have stay within the lane and anticipate what’s hiding at the blindspots.

    3. Highway company and authorities, you should have know whenever there is a great viewing spot, there will always idiots who stop there. I know there is an allocated viewpoint for people to safely stop their car, but not sure why it was kept closed. How would you not expect idiots stopping by roadside for such scenic road?

  • PROLINTAS can install high def camera with a very loud speaker. It can be accessed from main control room with only 1 oerson manning it. Just give a loud reminder through mic and capture the cullprit for police to take further action. For more dramatic effect they can installed red paint splasher to so easily marking those monkeys’ ride.

  • The biker is a Learner. No wonder he crashed. You should never follow another vehicle too closely. Also why did the biker end up on the EL? Shouldn’t he be on the actual road?
    Anyway, I don’t get why there is a fine on this. I can see all parties have done wrong.

  • PROLINTAS must install a HD camera with a very loud speaker at the said area. It directly connected to the control room so only one person manning it. If a vehicle try to stop there, give them direct warning. If possible, installed some red paint spray or splash for more dramatic effect. So when the vehicle move around, they think the owner has a debt problem with Ah Long with all the red paint stain. To make things better, the said screen captures can be produced to PDRM for summonses. Kaching!!

      The directive from works minister Fadillah Yusof comes in the wake of a crash in the emergency lane near the SUKE’s Bukit Teratai toll plaza on Sunday.

      “I have instructed Prolintas to instal speakers in areas identified as lookout points (for Kuala Lumpur) to complement the cameras already installed on the highway,” Fadillah told FMT.

    Although is wrong to stop to take pictures. But what if a car did stop due to emergency. Is the emergency lane prone to accident?
    Maybe shld have a wider left lane for bikers to stay in instead of riding in emergency lane.
    The issue is more than the Myvi owner stop for a pic.
