#NSTviral: Netizens stunned by video of rider crashing into divider
The video, believed to be taken from a car's dashboard camera, captures the moment the motorcycle overtook the vehicle on the right to the slip road on the left before a shocking miscalculation sent the rider flying.
The rider, most likely a delivery rider, was seen attempting to veer onto the slip road but collided head-on with a concrete divider, separating the road towards the Pahang roundabout and the Jalan Ipoh turning.
The impact launched the motorcyclist and his bike into the air before they landed dramatically on the very road he was trying to reach.
Debris was seen scattering before the rider fell onto the asphalt.
Though his current condition is not known, many online users have expressed both concern and disbelief over the incident.
The video, now circulating widely on Facebook, TikTok, and WhatsApp, has triggered an outpouring of reactions from netizens.
One of them said, "Hope that the rider escaped with minor injuries. Nothing serious…"
Another viewer said, "As a biker myself, this is painful to watch. But a reminder, we can't take shortcuts when it comes to safety. Be safe on the road."
Another commenter advised not to change lanes at the last minute.

The factory ignited around 11am in Mueang district of Suphan Buri province, north of Bangkok. - Photo: SUPHAN BURI PROVINCIAL PUBLIC RELATIONS OFFICE/Facebook BANGKOK: At least nine people died and two others were injured in a fireworks factory explosion in central Thailand on Wednesday (July 30), police told AFP, as officers continued to search for casualties. The factory ignited around 11am (0400 GMT) in Mueang district of Suphan Buri province, north of Bangkok, where images shared by a rescue group showed a charred building reduced to rubble. Thai police said nine people were confirmed dead -- up from an earlier toll of four -- and two others were being treated at a nearby hospital. "We are trying to identify the cause of the blast," local police chief Wanchai Khaoram told AFP. Factory fires are common in Thailand, where enforcement of safety regulations remain weak. Last year, an explosion at another firework factory in the same province killed at least 23 people. - AFP
