A 19-year-old man in Seremban experienced a terrifying accident after his car plunged from a parking lot at the Terminal 1 Transport Hub yesterday morning (September 8). The incident occurred when the driver mistakenly stepped on the accelerator, sending his Honda City crashing through a barrier and down from the parking structure.
According to a report by Utusan, the accident took place around 11:45 a.m. The hubs manager, Mohd. Hafiz Talib, provided details of the incident, explaining that the car was initially moving toward the exit when the young driver accidentally hit the gas pedal. The vehicle lurched forward, broke through the barrier, and fell to the ground below.
While the car landed near another parked vehicle, the damage was minimal, with only a minor impact on the front of the unoccupied car. Fortunately, no one else was injured during the incident.
Mohd. Hafiz further shared that the teen driver reportedly suffered a seizure before the accident. After the crash, his mother, who owns a mobile phone shop in the mall, rushed him to a private hospital for treatment.
Seremban district police chief, Assistant Commissioner Mohamad Hatta Che Din, confirmed that the young man was on his way home to Seremban 2 when the accident occurred. He sustained a head injury from the fall but is expected to recover. No other casualties were reported in the incident.
Investigations are ongoing to understand the full circumstances surrounding the accident.
