Three car owners who had their cars parked at the IOI City Mall in Sepang District, Selangor, were unfortunate to have their vehicles damaged by a Porsche 911 which crashed into them. The accident occurred early today (Saturday, January 28) at the valet parking lot of the mall.
According to a report by The Star, Sepang OCPD Asst Comm Wan Kamarul Azran Wan Yusof said that investigations showed that the driver had crashed into a road divider and lost control, leading to the Porsche colliding with the three cars at the driveway of IOI City Mall.
The driver was seen staggering unsteadily as he walked around the car, suggesting that he may have been drunk. The police will carry out blood and urine tests on him to determine his condition. If found to be drunk, he can be charged under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act.
It’s the festive season and many people will be celebrating but be responsible as a driver. If you have consumed too much alcohol, don’t drive home as you risk having an accident. You might even kill or seriously injure someone.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), even modest amounts of alcohol consumed can affect the functioning of several processes required for safe driving. This can result in severe crashes involving deaths and serious injuries. Furthermore, alcohol consumption is associated with other risk behaviours such as non-use of seatbelts and driving at unsafe speeds.
Do the smart thing: Take a cab home or have friends send you home.
