WASHINGTON, April 8 — President Donald Trump told AFP yesterday that the United States had achieved a “total and complete victory” after reaching a two-week ceasefire agreement with Iran.
MELAKA, April 8 — Police are on the hunt for the driver of a Proton Saga believed to have triggered a six-vehicle crash along Lebuh AMJ Cheng Heights in Melaka Tengah yesterday morning.
State Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department (JSPT) chief Supt Muhammad Zaki Ramat said the incident occurred around 9.51am when the car, reportedly owned by a foreign national, lost control while travelling from Malim. It then swerved into the opposite lane and crashed into a Mercedes-Benz heading towards Bandar Melaka.
“The Proton Saga subsequently spun and struck several other vehicles, including a Toyota Vios, Perodua Bezza, a Nissan van and a Toyota Camry, bringing the total number of vehicles involved to six,” he said in a statement, adding that the driver was not present at the scene and has yet to be identified.
In the crash, the driver and a passenger of the Toyota Vios, aged 63 and 32, suffered injuries to the head, eyes and left leg. They received initial treatment at Melaka Hospital before being transferred to Mahkota Hospital.
Police are working to trace the driver by verifying vehicle ownership, locating witnesses, and reviewing CCTV and dashcam footage.
Anyone with information is urged to contact investigating officer Sgt Ikhram Azmi at 011-26559539 or visit the nearest police station.
The case is being investigated under Section 43(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987. — Bernama
