At around 2.31 am on August 26 in Bukit Mertajam, a tragic accident occurred on Jalan Baru in Taman Pauh, resulting in the death of one individual and injuries to two others. The Penang Fire and Rescue Department received an emergency call about the crash, with personnel arriving at the scene nine minutes later. According to John Sagun Francis, an assistant director of operations from the department, the incident involved a BMW, a Perodua Myvi, and a Proton Persona.
However, the Perodua Myvi and Proton Persona were found to be parked on the roadside, with their drivers absent. Upon arrival, firefighters successfully extricated two men trapped inside the BMW using specialized equipment, but the BMW driver succumbed to his injuries at the scene. Both the injured BMW passenger and the pedestrian were provided with initial medical attention by the Health Ministry's team and subsequently transported to Seberang Jaya Hospital for further treatment. The deceased's body was also transferred to the same hospital for additional procedures.
