When driving, it is important to prioritise safety over everything else. Drivers have to consider the lives of those in the car, the lives of others on the road, and also their loved ones at home. It takes only one mishap, and all of these lives could be changed in an instant.
Just recently, an unknown individual driving a Range Rover drove carelessly, causing thirteen cars to crash and five people to end up in the hospital. Due to the leaked car plate number, it is rumoured that the individual who started all this was the son or daughter of a VIP.

The accident was initially a crash between a Vios, a Range Rover, and a Bezza but soon spread to thirteen different cars, even involving one police car. The result of this horrific car crash caused one man in the Vios car to be seriously injured and the other four victims suffered light injuries.
A while after the accident occurred, families of the victims posted tweets about the accident. The family members claimed that the driver of the Range Rover at the time had a VIP family background with the rank of ‘Tan Sri’. They then posted the plate number of the Range Rover, which incited many other netizens to try and find its owner.

According to The Vocket, Shah Alam District Police Chief Assistant Commissioner Mohd Iqbal Ibrahim said that the man and two other victims were driving from Kuala Lumpur towards Klang. “The investigation found that a Vios in the middle lane of the highway was believed to have been hit by a Range Rover from behind. The collision resulted in the car skidding to the right and hitting the road divider,” he said in a statement.
The Assistant Commissioner said that the collision also caused the Range Rover to skid to the left side of the highway. A Bezza that was using the fast lane came up behind the Vios, did not have time to avoid it and hit the vehicle. “The incident resulted in one having serious injuries, while two car passengers and two other drivers were lightly injured,” he said.

About an hour later, another netizen by the name of Mr. Stuhico stated that the incident also caused several other cars to be involved in later accidents. Due to the number of crashed cars on the road, oncoming cars did not have time to avoid and ended up crashing one after another. This resulted in thirteen different cars all crashed on the Federal Highway.
One police patrol car took the initiative and blocked the Vios from other incoming cars, but ended up getting hit too. The accident that took place around 5am continued on until about 7am. Luckily, no other victims were seriously injured.
