Kota Belud car wash crash sparks deja vu weeks after Kota Kinabalu International Airport smash

Kota Belud, Aug 29 — A woman driving a Perodua Ativa lost control of her vehicle and crashed into a Perodua Alza and a car wash on Jalan Raya, just like a similar incident at Kota Kinabalu International Airport earlier this month. The accident took place at 9.30am after the woman had finished using the automatic car wash machine.

Police Chief Supt Khairul Shah Peri stated that the driver lost control after exiting the car wash. The Ativa then collided with the parked Alza and hit the iron structure of the automatic car wash. Despite the damage, the woman was unharmed. The incident is under investigation under Regulation 10 of the Road Traffic Rules 1959.

Earlier, a 66-year-old woman suffered minor injuries when she crashed into the Level 3 departure hall area at KKIA after forgetting to engage the vehicle’s "P" gear. Police have advised motorists to drive cautiously, ensure their vehicles are in good condition, and comply with all traffic laws to prevent accidents.
