According to Johor Bahru Northern District police chief, Assistant Commissioner Balveer Singh, the 41-year-old woman driving the Nissan Serena failed to brake in time, striking the rear of the Toyota Wish, which was being driven by a 55-year-old man attempting to change lanes.

The collision caused the Toyota Wish to lose control, hitting a BMW X1, then veering into the left lane and colliding with a van, a Honda CR-V, and a Honda BR-V.

As a result, the driver of the Toyota Wish suffered broken ribs, while the Nissan Serena driver sustained chest injuries.

Both were treated at the hospital, and the other drivers were unharmed.

Nissan driver faces up to 12 months in jail

Mr Balveer confirmed that the case is being investigated under Section 43(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for careless and inconsiderate driving.

 

If convicted, the 41-year-old driver could face up to 12 months in prison and a fine ranging from RM5,000 (S$1,500) to RM10,000 (S$3,000).

The investigation is ongoing.
