Perodua Alza bursts into flames after collision on Kesas [WATCH]

KUALA LUMPUR: A Perodua Alza burst into flames after being hit from behind by a Kia Carnival on the Shah Alam Expressway earlier today.

South Klang police chief Assistant Commissioner Ramli Kasa said the collision, which also involved a trailer, occurred at about 1.20am on the stretch from Klang to Shah Alam.

“Preliminary investigations revealed the accident happened when a Perodua Alza, driven by a 20-year-old man with two passengers, was in the right lane when it was struck from behind by a Kia Carnival, also carrying two passengers and driven by a 20-year-old man.

“The impact caused the Perodua Alza to lose control and swerve to the left side of the road, where it caught fire and was completely destroyed,” he said in a statement today.

Ramli said a 43-year-old man driving a trailer in the middle lane was unable to avoid debris from both cars.

He said the driver and passengers of the Perodua Alza were taken to Hospital Tengku Ampuan Rahimah in Klang for treatment, while the driver of the Kia Carnival was treated at Pantai Hospital Klang.

“No serious injuries were reported in the accident.

“The case is being investigated under Section 43(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for careless and inconsiderate driving,” he said.

Police have advised all road users to be careful, remain focused while driving, and obey the speed limit.
