No foul play in Serdang hospital car park crash, police say


PUTRAJAYA: Driver negligence caused a car to crash through the Sultan Idris Shah Hospital multi-storey parking area on Tuesday, with no elements of sabotage involved, police confirm.

Sepang police chief ACP Norhizam Bahaman said the accident in Serdang occurred at about 1.15pm when a 39-year-old man driving a sports utility vehicle lost control and crashed into a barrier wall on level 3B of the parking facility.

"The driver was uninjured and confirmed that there was no foul play.

He admitted that the accident happened due to his own negligence when he accidentally pressed the accelerator, lost control and collided with the barrier wall,” he said in a statement.

The impact damaged the barrier wall, sending debris falling onto a Toyota Avanza parked below.

Norhizam said the case is being investigated under Section 43(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987. He also urged the public to avoid speculation or spreading false information that could cause unnecessary concern.

Earlier, images of the car with its front end protruding from the hospital’s multi-storey parking area went viral on social media. - Bernama
