KEPALA BATAS: A car that was allegedly being driven against traffic caused a multiple-vehicle pileup on the North-South Expressway (NSE) early Saturday.

It is learnt that in the 1.54am incident, a car was being driven on the wrong side of the NSE from the Bumbung Lima rest area headed to the Sungai Dua toll plaza.

It is learnt that at least five cars were involved but fortunately there were no fatalities in the incident.

One of the five drivers suffered a broken arm while the others received outpatient treatment at the Kepala Batas Hospital.




Photos of the accident and the vehicles involved, one of them a Lamborghini Huracan which costs about RM1.5mil, have since gone viral on social media.

A police source confirmed that the accident occurred and that a car driving the wrong way was involved.

The source also said that the driver of the car, a 30-year-old man, has been questioned over the incident.

The case is being investigated under Section 43 of the Road Transport Act 1987 for careless and inconsiderate driving.

On July 12, a driver and his passenger driving against traffic on Jalan Ipoh-Lumut road were killed after their 4WD vehicle collided into a trailer.

Two weeks before that, police arrested a 56-year-old driver after a video of her car being driven on the wrong side of the Second Link Expressway near Gelang Patah went viral.
