 Subaru Forester SUV

An incident has been reported involving a SUV caught on fire at Shah Alam Expressway (KESAS). This was the second case that related to a burning car which earlier was at the Guthrie Corridor Expressway.

Anyhow, this time around there were no victims found to be injured or hurt at the scene. Fortunately, the driver manages to escape from the vehicle despite being in an anxious and frightening situation especially when dealing with fire and other chemical pollutants released from the car. 

This evening, the collision occurred when a Subaru Forester was in the fourth lane and changed its direction and manoeuvre to the third lane which resulted in a horrific scene. 

Afterwards, the 18-years old driver struck the front door of the car as there were other vehicles queuing in line behind him before heading to Persiaran Kewajipan in Subang Jaya.

What happened next made it to the headlines when unfortunately the tragedy saw a Subaru Forester was struck hard, turning, and striked perhaps another five more cars in front of it before it caught on flames. 

Anyhow, always take precautions while driving and be extra careful especially during this monsoon season.
