KUALA LUMPUR: A BMW 320i is believed to have lost control after its driver suffered a seizure before crashing into six parked vehicles along Jalan Midah 1, Cheras.

City Traffic Enforcement and Investigation Department chief Assistant Commissioner Mohd Zamzuri Mohd Isa said the incident occurred at 8.30am today.

He said the 28-year-old BMW driver was travelling from his home to work in Taman Midah 1 when the incident occurred.

"Initial investigations found that the driver is believed to have suffered a sudden seizure, causing him to lose control of the vehicle before it skidded and crashed into six vehicles parked on the left side of the road," he said in a statement today.

Mohd Zamzuri said none of the parked vehicles had drivers or passengers at the time of the incident.

He said the vehicles belonged to five individuals and a company.

"The accident only caused damage to the vehicles," he said.

Mohd Zamzuri said initial checks found that the BMW driver had a history of seizures for about 10 years.

"A breathalyser test on the driver also returned a zero reading for alcohol," he said.

He said the case had been classified under Rule 10 of the Road Traffic Rules (LN 166/59), with further investigations ongoing. - NST
