Haziq Izzuddin Ruslan, a 25-year-old food delivery rider, has been found not guilty in Shah Alam Magistrate Court of charges for dangerously driving and causing an accident with a student on a pedestrian crossing, known as Persiaran Saujana 4 in Sungai Buloh, on September 28. The young man appeared before Magistrate Muhammad Syafiq Sulaiman after the charges were read.

He admitted to riding a Yamaha motorbike without proper attention and awareness towards other road users, which led to the accident. The offense potentially carries a fine between RM5,000 and RM10,000 and up to 12 months imprisonment if found guilty. Prior to the trial, Deputy Crown Prosecutor Alia Anisa Khairus Masnan suggested the defendant be released on bail of RM5,000 with a surety.

However, his lawyer, Muhamad Saifullah Muhamad Azmi, requested a lower bond due to the defendant's lack of stable income, which would put financial strain on his family. Despite the incident, Haziq did not flee the scene and remained with the victim on the roadside. The court then allowed the defendant to be bailed for RM2,000 with a surety and ordered him to report to the police station once a month for the next trial on November 12.

The previously circulating video showed a student crossing the road being struck by the motorbike rider while he was also knocked down. The 60-second video depicted the student being thrown off balance and the motorbike rider also falling off his bike.
