KUALA LUMPUR: A motorcyclist was flung into the air and suffered a broken hand when he crashed into the back of a car that was attempting to switch lanes.
City Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department deputy chief Supt Sarifudin Mohd Salleh said that the accident occurred on Friday (Sept 27) along Jalan Sg Besi.
He said that a Singaporean driver had tried to switch lanes abruptly on the highway, and caused the motorcyclist, who was unable to slow down, crash into the back of the car with his high-powered motorcycle.
The crash threw the motorcyclist in the air before he landed in front of the car.
"We have yet to receive a report from the motorcyclist, who had to be sent to Hospital Kuala Lumpur for treatment," Supt Sarifudin said on Sunday (Sept 29).
A video of the accident has been making its rounds on social media.
The 23-second video showed a white car suddenly changing lanes along the highway, as the driver attempted to take an exit on the far right lane.
