Rampaging driver ploughs into four vehicles in Penang

A driver on a rampage ploughed into four vehicles with his Proton X70, smashing all of them in an incident in George Town, Penang.

Five people were seriously injured, with one slightly hurt, in the road rampage at three locations along Jalan Perak and the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway last night.

Northeast district police chief Abdul Rozak Muhammad said in the 8.30pm incident, the Proton X70 driven by the 50-year-old man hit the back of a Perodua Myvi driven by a 44-year-old woman at the Jalan Perak traffic light junction.

“The man then continued driving and hit two motorcycles, a Honda Vario and a Honda C100 at separate locations on Jalan Perak, before rear-ending a Honda City on the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Highway,” he said in a statement today.

He said only the driver of the Myvi suffered minor injuries while the others - the driver of the Proton X70, the rider and pillion passenger of the Honda C100 motorcycle, aged 56 and 15, as well as the rider of the Honda Varioi, aged 29, and the driver of the Honda City, aged 29 - suffered serious injuries.

He said all of them, who are locals, are receiving treatment at the Penang Hospital.

Further investigations are being carried out under Section 42 of the Road Transport Act 1987.
