On the morning of July 6, 2024, a serious accident involving three vehicles occurred on a highway in Gurun, Kedah. The incident, captured on a dashcam, quickly went viral on social media, amassing over 600,000 views within 24 hours and igniting widespread anger among viewers.

The footage reveals a two-lane highway where a lorry was traveling in the right lane, while a trailer occupied the left. As the lorry overtook the trailer, a car following closely behind the lorry attempted to switch lanes without sufficient space, leading to a dangerous situation.

Simultaneously, a Perodua Alza, positioned behind the trailer, used the emergency lane in an attempt to overtake. This maneuver forced the trailer driver to swerve to avoid a collision with both the Alza and the lane-switching car. The trailer then collided with a Perodua Axia, which was not involved in the reckless driving, while the Perodua Alza spun out of control and ended up in a ditch.

The dashcam video has sparked outrage among netizens, who are condemning the drivers irresponsible decision to switch lanes without enough space, creating a chain reaction that led to the multi-car collision. Comments flooding the video highlight the frustrations and dangers of reckless driving, calling for stricter enforcement of traffic laws and better road safety measures.

Local authorities are investigating the incident, and no reports of severe injuries have been released. However, the viral video serves as a stark reminder of the importance of cautious and considerate driving to ensure the safety of all road users.
