Pemandu SUV rempuh pintu kaca KKIA lupa letak gear ‘P’
Apabila kereta mula gerak perlahan, pemandu tertekan pedal minyak dalam keadaan panik, kata polis.
Yesterday, a 66-year-old woman driving an SUV accidentally pushed through a side gate at Kota Kinabalu International Airport (KKIA) due to forgetting to engage the 'P' (parking) gear before panicking and slamming the accelerator. Chief Police Officer Kota Kinabalu, Shahrudin Mat Husain, stated that the incident happened at 4:55 pm after the SUV stopped at the kerbside outside the KKIA building to pick up her son.
Upon switching drivers, the woman allegedly forgot to engage the 'P' gear, causing the SUV to move slowly. "The driver then reportedly panicked and unintentionally pressed the accelerator, causing the SUV to speed forward and collide with another vehicle before smashing through the KKIA side gate and damaging a supporting column," Shahrudin said in a statement, according to Bernama.
The driver managed to exit the vehicle before the collision, but sustained a minor facial injury from the broken glass. The driver was taken to Queen Elizabeth I Hospital for further treatment. The case is being investigated under Traffic Code Section 10, Road Traffic Regulations 1959, and the Road Transport Act 1987.
