#NSTviral: Delivery rider triggers crash on MRR2, flees scene
KUALA LUMPUR: A delivery rider who abruptly cut across three lanes of traffic caused a crash involving two cars along the Middle Ring Road 2 (MRR2) near Lotus Ampang, before riding off. The incident, which took place around 2.47pm on July 1, was captured on a dashcam and has since gone viral on social media. Ampang Jaya police chief Assistant Commissioner Mohd Azam Ismail said investigations showed that all vehicles were heading from Pandan Jaya towards Cheras when the crash occurred. "The motorcyclist was travelling in the middle lane but suddenly veered left across three lanes to enter a junction," said Mohd Azam. The sudden lane change forced the driver of a Honda Civic to hit the brake abruptly, but the car ended up crashing into a Perodua Ativa in front as it swerved left in an attempt to avoid the motorcyclist. "Fortunately, no one was injured. All vehicles sustained minor damage. "The motorcyclist did not stop at the scene," he said. The case is being investigated under Rule 6(1) of the Road Traffic Rules 1959 (LN 166/59). Mohd Azam urged motorists to avoid making reckless decisions on the road. "Do not make abrupt moves or act without thinking. Drive carefully, be considerate and obey all traffic laws. "Accidents can be avoided if we stay alert and follow the rules," he said.
