QuickCheck: Did a group of supercars block a highway?


A VIDEO has been circulating online showing a convoy of supercars stopped on a highway. Did this happen recently?

Verdict:

TRUE

According to Malay news portal Majoriti.com.my, the first video to surface of the incident was uploaded on Facebook.

In the video, it showed a convoy of supercars stopped in the middle of the road surrounding a white four-wheel drive (4WD) pickup truck.

Another Malay portal, mStar.com.my, shows the incident from the perspective of a dashboard camera in a car behind the vehicles.

The 21-second video shows the 4WD trying to squeeze its way between the convoy before finally clipping a green Lamborghini.

According to The Star's own inquiry, the incident happened near KM34 on the North-South Expressway (NSE), near the Sedenak flyover.

When asked, Kulai OCPD Supt Tok Beng Yeow said initial investigations revealed that the incident occurred at about 6.10pm on Friday (March 18).

"The 4WD driver had tried to cut off the Lamborghini in a zig-zag pattern.

"The driver of the Lamborghini tried to evade by going to the left side of the road but was run into.

"This led to a scuffle between the two drivers before the whole convoy of luxury vehicles decided to stop in the middle of the road," he said in a statement on Sunday (March 20).

When asked whether the driver of the 4WD was intoxicated, Supt Tok said investigations into the matter were still ongoing.
