HR-V spins 3 times in chain-reaction crash, 4 injured
TUMPAT: Four people were injured in a five-vehicle crash along Jalan Baru, Wakaf Bharu here about 2pm today.
Four individuals were injured in a five-vehicle collision along Jalan Baru in Wakaf Bharu, Malaysia, around 2pm today. The incident began when a Honda HR-V driven by a man skidded and crashed into a Perodua Axia, followed by a Toyota Vios. The Honda HR-V then spun three times before colliding with a parked Perodua Alza and the fence of a nearby house.
The Proton Saga FLX sustained damage at the rear after being struck by the Honda HR-V's spare tyre, which was ejected from the vehicle. Local resident Teo Hwee Shean, 60, witnessed the crash and recounted how the Honda HR-V spun multiple times before heading towards his house, damaging the fence of his house. Smoke emerged from the affected vehicles, prompting him to move his parked car in the garage out of fear of an explosion.
The Honda HR-V driver sustained minor injuries, while several other victims were taken to Hospital Raja Perempuan Zainab II (HRPZ II) in Kota Bharu. Despite daily accidents along the road, this incident was particularly serious due to the number of vehicles involved and the injuries sustained.
