PETALING JAYA: The driver of a car seen in a viral video of a hit-and-run incident in Shah Alam claims he fled the scene of an accident because he was afraid of being beaten up.
Selangor Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department chief Supt Azman Shariat said the incident occurred at around 1pm on Friday (Oct 18).
In a 38-second clip believed to be from dashcam footage from another vehicle, a white car is seen overtaking on the right lane before swerving to the left after hitting the motorcyclist.
The rider, who is doing his rounds for a food delivery service, is thrown off his machine and lands heavily on the road and the car then speeds off.
Supt Azman said the 59-year-old driver of the car has since lodged a police report.
"He claims that he drove off in fear of becoming a victim of an angry mob," he said when contacted on Saturday (Oct 19).
Supt Azman said the investigating officer went to see the 24-year-old motorcycle rider at the Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital in Klang.
"He suffered multiple injuries to his arms and legs in the accident.
"We have classified the case as reckless driving under Section 42(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987," he said.
