However, it ended up crashing into a motorcyclist on the car’s right, knocking them over.
For a few moments, the car stopped ahead of the crash.
The motorcyclist got up shortly after, seemingly escaping major injuries, and the Singapore-registered car then continued driving on.

It is unclear if the driver deliberately attempted to leave the scene.
However, the white car didn’t get very far, as it soon became caught in the slow, heavy traffic towards the JB border.

The camcar driver who caught the incident claimed they used their high beams in an attempt to signal the offending car to stop, but it did not.
Shortly after, a police officer in a high-visibility vest walked over and caught up with the car.
