Road rage incident on Karak Highway leaves Proton Waja overturned and two injured in dramatic accident

Road rage incident on Karak Highway leaves Proton Waja overturned and two injured in dramatic accident

Tempers flared when two drivers met on the Karak Expressway on Sunday (April 7, 2024), resulting in a dramatic accident that left a driver and passenger with minor injuries. The incident, which was recorded on video, has since gone viral on social media and attracted plenty of comments.

According to Bentong district police chief Supt Zaiham Mohd Kahar, the incident occurred at KM49.4 of the highway (Kuala Lumpur-bound) at around 10.15am. In the video, a Proton Waja is seen driving along the highway before making a lane change to the right and inadvertently impeded a Honda City.

The driver of the City then pulled alongside the Waja before overtaking it in what appears to be a dangerous manner. Presumably annoyed, the driver of the Waja then chased after and hit the left side of the City. Both cars met with each other again in a corner, with the City pushing the Waja, which swerved and hit the Honda again before the driver lost control and verered off into a drain and flipping his vehicle.

Zaiham revealed the driver of the Waja was a 56-year-old man who was with his 25-year-old son, while the City was driven by a 34-year-old man. “Prior to the accident, both cars were reportedly driving recklessly, tailgating, and provoking each other due to dissatisfaction with each other’s driving,” he said.

The case is being investigated under Section 42(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987. In his statement, Zaiham reminded motorists to understand and practice ethical driving to prevent accidents that can claim lives.

    Nothing said about the dashcam car? Just look at how fast the dashcam car occupants come out to scold the Honda City after the crash. The Proton Waja is definitely convoying with the dashcam car. Also seems like they don’t want to slow down & wait behind the trailer before the right lane is clear for overtaking.

    That’s probably why they didn’t release the front camera footage of the dashcam car, as it could show the dashcam car or the convoy is the one driving dangerously in the first place.

    • Sejujurnya mmg rse puas hati tgk waja tu tergolek. Da dia yg mulakan.

      Blh pulak kereta dashcam dpn tu kluar kereta trus nk marah2 yg city tu.

      Yg waja tu (56 tahun), da badan bau tanah pun masih nak ingt diri tu muda. Lg2 tgk city tu org muda (34 tahun), ingt mudah nak digula2kan.

      Mindset org tua2 yg mengharapkan org muda utk hormat mrk pdhal mrk x hormat org.

      Realiti mcm tu la. Ni bru jlnraya, blom lg cerita kalau perangai org tua di sesuatu organisasi. Terpaling senior dan x nak / x suka perubahan utk kebaikan bersama majukan syarikat/negara.

    While not able to see any incident of provocation earlier, the Waja is mainly at fault. It switched lane into the City with no indicator lights and then banged into the City. The City should not have retaliated but instead make a police report. But since it did banged the Waja after that, it will not be spared from the law as well

    Waja at fault for switching lane without signal and did not see the City on fast lane. Padan mukak terbabas & turn turtle. Lucky them my tow truck fren was at the scene within minutes to save their sorry lives. Next time drive properly and not masuk jalan without signal like its your grandfather punya.

    Both drivers should have died. Deserve to be taken off not just the roads, but off this planet, permanently. In fact, it would be ideal if all tailgaters can be subjected to summary execution because all tailgaters are worthless losers regardless of the cars they drive.

    i rather use L2 Adapative cruise control and follow the truck until the road is clear and safe.

    Otherwise, just busy overtaking and revving,
    very meaningless.

  • if i observe, the City driver has done enough careful to avoid accident.

    Waja changed lane without signal – could cause accident.
    Waja changed lane without sufficient speeding up – could cause accident.
    Interesting note: Waja realized he cannot pick up and tried to use the signal?

    Waja drive may or may not had the intention to block the City driver.

    City trying to warn Waja by driving side by side closely,
    but this didnt cause Waja to loose control nor any body impact happened.

    Waja get annnoyed and bang the city, wow!

    I now only interested at the final police report for the good fact and lesson learnt.
