Boy, 14, crashes car into 2 vehicles in Penang

Yesterday at 4:50pm, a 14-year-old boy was captured on video crashing his car into two vehicles in Perai, Penang. The incident occurred on Lorong Kurau 23, heading towards Jalan Kurau 1. According to Seberang Perai Tengah police chief Nik Aminuddin Raja Abdullah, the teenager initially collided with a parked vehicle on the roadside shoulder. He then proceeded to drive recklessly, entering the wrong side of a one-way road on Lebuh Kurau 5, where he collided with another car traveling in the correct lane.

No injuries were reported in the accident. Police have launched an investigation under Section 42(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987, which deals with reckless and dangerous driving. Nik Aminuddin emphasized the importance of parents and guardians monitoring their children's activities, stressing that allowing underage children to operate vehicles is unlawful and potentially hazardous to other road users.
