(Sri Aman, 12th) – Yesterday morning, a chain collision involving five cars occurred at the Jalan Rentap traffic light intersection in Sri Aman, resulting in four people being injured and rushed to the hospital for treatment.
Sri Aman District Police Chief, Superintendent Aswandy Anis, stated that the accident took place at around 11 am yesterday.
He said that a 24-year-old man driving a Toyota Vios was heading from Sri Aman Hospital towards the city center when he allegedly lost control upon reaching the intersection, leading to the accident.
"The vehicle then crashed into four other cars that were stopped at the red light, which in turn triggered a chain collision at the scene."
