SIX people were injured in an accident involving 10 vehicles when one of the drivers, who is an epileptic, had a seizure at the traffic-light junction in Jalan Tun Abdul Razak, Lebuh Ayer Keroh, Malacca yesterday.

Malacca Traffic Enforcement Investigation Department head Amran @ Mohamad Zaki Omar said the accident occurred about 9.15pm when all the victims, involving drivers and passengers in the affected vehicles, were at the Taman Chiptaco traffic-light junction.

“An initial investigation revealed that all the 10 vehicles were waiting for the traffic light to turn green when a 38-year-old man, who was at the wheel of a BMW, had a seizure, causing him to step on the accelerator pedal. This caused the car to ram into the vehicles in front before it came to a stop,” he said.

“The man then had a second seizure, causing the car to crash into more vehicles.”

He said six of the drivers and passengers in the vehicles were injured, with one of them, a 20-year-old woman who was at the wheel of a Perodua Kenari, treated for a broken nose. All of them were sent to Malaccaa Hospital for treatment. – Bernama, June 4, 2022.
