A young woman was seen jumping out of a moving vehicle along the Sprint Expressway near Sri Hartamas in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia at about 8pm on Sunday (17 Aug).

She hit the ground with force due to the vehicle’s speed, her shoes flying off on impact as she rolled several times before coming to a stop in the middle of the road.
For a brief moment, the woman lay motionless on the expressway, nearly being hit by three cars travelling behind.
Fortunately, the eyewitness, Mr Loh, reported that all the vehicles managed to brake in time, narrowly avoiding tragedy.

Bystanders quickly rushed forward to help her to the roadside. She did not appear to have suffered serious injuries.
The driver of the black SUV also stopped immediately after the incident to render assistance, with no indication that the case involved kidnapping.
Mr Loh told China Press he believed the woman had argued with her relatives or friends prior to the incident, which may have caused her to lose control of her emotions.
The viral video also sparked online speculation, with one user suggesting she may have been experiencing claustrophobia.
