Car crashes into temporary barrier, falls into hole in road; driver and passenger not injured in incident

A vehicle has reported fallen into a roadworks hole in Setiawangsa, Kuala Lumpur along Jalan 1/56 near the AU3 residential area yesterday, going through a temporary plastic barrier to mark the area where roadworks were being carried out, according to The Vibes. The occupants of the vehicle involved have since been reported to be safe.

According to Wangsa Maju district police chief Ashari Abu Samah, the car that was driven by a 32-year-old woman had collided with the temporary plastic barrier on the left lane that was under repair and had fallen into the hole as a result.

Despite the collision, the driver and passenger in the car were not injured, and the car was towed out of the area, Ashari said. The case is classified under Rule 10 of the Road Traffic Rules 1959 (LN166/59), for allegedly sleeping while driving or recklessly driving a vehicle, the district police chief said.

    Just wondering if those so called water barriers had water actually filled into them. Otherwise, it is not functioning as a barrier.
    Sometime back a local go kart race had an accident where by a go kart ran outside into spectators causing death. They blame spectators for being too close but again failed to notice the violation of not filing water into the water barriers.
    Please consider to sue the contractor for negligence on their part too.

    Beside the barriers, the muds are very slippery. U can’t go near is very dangerous high risks your car will slide wide.
