Driver going against traffic causes 5-car crash

 

Police say the man was not driving under the influence of alcohol.

JOHOR BAHRU: A man who drove against traffic suffered serious injuries after causing a five-vehicle crash at Km2.6 of the Eastern Dispersal Link (EDL) Expressway here at 12.30am today.

Johor Bahru Selatan police chief Raub Selamat said the 20-year-old was driving from town heading north when he went against traffic from the Sultan Iskandar roundabout and entered the EDL.

An SUV coming from the north and heading to town collided with the car and flipped over, and three following vehicles crashed into them, Raub said in a statement today.

The driver suffered injuries to his legs, arms and neck and was taken to Sultan Aminah Hospital here, but the others suffered only minor injuries.

He said the driver, who was found to be not under the influence of alcohol, was being investigated under Section 43(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for driving without due care. - FMT
