ALOR SETAR: The state police’s New Year’s Eve “kapchai” ride suffered a minor setback when the state’s top cop got into an accident.
Comm Datuk Zainuddin Yaacob (pic) was en route to the ride on a 150cc underbone motorcycle when he collided with a car at the junction of Pokok Pauh at 11.30am yesterday.
He was on the way to join the programme “Konvoi Kapchai Ambang Tahun 2020 Ketua Polis Kedah” in Pokok Sena near here.
He was rushed to Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital by an ambulance.
It is learnt that he fractured his right leg.
Other riders continued with the event which covered a distance of 251km from Kota Setar district police station to the Gurun, Baling and Kuala Muda police stations.
It was aimed at fostering public awareness on crime prevention through high-profile policing and to strengthen the relationship between the police, the community and kapchai enthusiasts in the state.
