QuickCheck: Was the video of an SUV being swept away by a raging river shot in Tapah?


A screen capture of the video that went viral on social media.

OFFROADING is a popular past-time with many Malaysians but it is an activity that comes with a lot of inherent risks. From minor irritants such as biting bugs and getting stuck in the mud, to potentially deadly concerns such as landslips and angry elephants, drivers have to be aware of their surroundings at all times to ensure the safety of themselves, their passengers and of course their vehicles.

One unlucky soul found out the hard way that you should always be mindful of the conditions of a river if you are trying to cross after the angry current swept them and their SUV away.
