Berita Harian reported that the woman was in the airport's second lane collecting her child when she forgot to shift the vehicle into parking gear. As she attempted to switch drivers, the SUV began moving slowly, prompting the woman to panic and unintentionally press the accelerator. The car then rolled forward, colliding with another vehicle before crashing through the departure hall's glass doors and striking a building pillar. Despite suffering minor facial injuries from glass fragments, the woman managed to exit the vehicle before the collision. No passengers or airport staff were injured. Police are currently investigating the incident under Rule 10 of the Road Traffic Rules 1959, as per the Road Transport Act 1987.",
