WHAT started out as a routine parking adjustment apparently turned into a new take on "drive-thru dining".
Apparently, a student at a university in Ipoh crashed their car into the cafe at their campus.
Given the unusual nature of this accidental crash, did this really happen?
Verdict:
TRUE
A 19-year-old student has lost control of her vehicle and crashed into a university’s cafe in Ipoh.
Ipoh OCPD Asst Comm Abang Zainal Abidin Abang Ahmad said the incident occurred on Tuesday (Oct 7) at about 5.06pm.
"The student was driving in the university area and wanted to move her car to another parking location," said ACP Abang Zainal Abidin in a statement on Tuesday.
"When the student got into the vehicle, she accidentally pressed the accelerator, causing the car to lunge forward and crash into the cafe’s glass panels," he said.
He added that the estimated damage to the café is around RM7,500.
No injuries were reported.
"The extent of other damages and losses is yet to be identified," he said.
"As for the vehicle, it sustained damage to the front bumper, bonnet and both the front and rear sections," he said.
He said police actions taken included recording a statement from the driver (the student), photographing the vehicle and issuing a summons.
"The case is being classified under Rule 10 of the Road Traffic Rules LN 166/59," he added.
