CHUKAI: Three individuals in two cars sustained minor injuries following a collision with an elephant on Jalan Jerangau-Jabor near the Jabor Plantation, according to authorities. At around 7:58 PM on last night, a Perodua Ativa driven by Amirul Afiq Aazmi, 29, and his wife Farhain Jolius, 23, were en route from Jerangau to Jabor when the incident occurred.
As they approached the scene, an elephant unexpectedly crossed the road. The driver found it impossible to brake in time due to the animal's proximity and collided with it, as reported by Kemaman police chief superintendent Mohd Razi Rosli in a statement today. Subsequently, a Perodua Myvi driven by Wan Muhammad Faiz Fakhrullah Wan Muhammad Zainal, 31, followed closely behind the Ativa and crashed into its rear.
Both drivers were injured, with Amirul suffering a minor hand injury and Farhain experiencing minor injuries to her leg and chest. Wan Muhammad Faiz sustained a minor knee injury. All victims were treated at the Green Zone at Kemaman Hospital. Police have obtained dashcam footage of the incident to aid investigations under Rule 10 of the Road Traffic Rules 1980 (LN 166/59).
