ALOR SETAR: Kedah Police Chief Commissioner Datuk Zainuddin Yaacob was involved in a road accident while on his way to join a New Year 'kapchai' (underbone bike) event in Pokok Sena near here.
At about 11.30am, Kota Setar's Police District Control Centre (DCC) received information of the accident at the junction of Pokok Pauh.
Comm Zainuddin's Honda RS 150cc motorcycle reportedly collided with a white Perodua Alza.
He was supposed to participate in a police programme called "Konvoi Kapchai Ambang Tahun 2020 Ketua Polis Kedah".
Following the accident, he was rushed to the Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital to receive treatment.
He is said to be in a stable condition but may have fractured his right leg.

The motorcycle convoy event covers a distance of 251km, beginning from Kota Setar district police headquarters to Gurun, Sik, Baling, Kuala Muda and back to Kota Setar.
It is aimed at fostering awareness on crime prevention through high-profile policing and the strengthening of police-community relationship via 'kapchai' enthusiasts in the state.
