IT was an accident waiting to happen. The motorcyclist rode across double lines along busy Jalan Permatang Pauh in Seberang Prai to turn into a slip road with ‘No Entry’ signboards and bang! his machine collided head-on with a trailer about 50m away.
And this happened right in front of a group of reporters who were there for a press con- ference called by Bagan Jermal assemblyman Ooi Chuan Aik to highlight that 'No Entry' signboards had been erected at the spot.
