#NSTviral: Dashcam captures moment lorry veers into Kancil
The 26-second clip, shared by a Reddit user, captures the moment the lorry, while signalling left, veered into the lane and side-swiped a Perodua Kancil from behind, causing it to crash to the side of the road.
"It happened along the stretch of highway near MSU, around 9.34pm on June 1, 2025," claimed the user.
"Earlier, the same truck was behind me in the far right overtaking lane, so I accelerated to distance myself. Moments later, this happened. I had a bad feeling about the lorry. I'm seriously shaken. I hope the driver is okay," the user added.
The incident drew various comments online.
A Reddit user wrote that the Kancil was likely caught in the lorry's blind spot.
"The Kancil was right in the truck's blind spot, just bad luck, in the wrong place at the wrong time," he said.
Another user, @Bearkuching, warned others to stay clear of lorries.
"Never stay in the same lane or close to trucks. Either let them pass or overtake fast. Don't trust them."

Mall fall disrupts Malaysian show at Vietnam shopping center
A dramatic incident unfolded at a Hanoi shopping center when a man plummeted from an upper floor during a live cultural presentation on Sunday afternoon. The individual fell from the fourth level of Aeon Mall Long Bien around midday on August 3, landing directly onto the performance area where Malaysian dancers were showcasing traditional arts as part of a tourism promotion event. The cultural performers immediately stopped their routine, visibly startled by the sudden interruption. Witnesses, including families with young children, watched in disbelief as the incident occurred during what was meant to be a celebratory cultural exchange. Emergency responders transported the individual to a medical facility following the fall. Local authorities have initiated an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident. The person's medical status has not been disclosed. This event reflects a troubling trend in Vietnamese retail centers, where similar occurrences have prompted safety discussions. Social media users from Vietnam noted that multiple comparable incidents have occurred at shopping facilities throughout 2025, particularly affecting Ho Chi Minh City venues. Footage of the incident was widely shared on X and Reddit, where users reacted with shock and concern. One Reddit post on r/malaysia by @Arasaka-1915 sparked responses from Vietnamese users offering context, pointing to what they described as a troubling pattern. @bdtyb said: 'Suicide attempt apparently, the glass balconies are too tall for someone to climb out by accident. There have been 3 - 4 attempts like this in Vietnam since the beginning of this year... First is Van Hanh mall, they even have to build a net to prevent it from happening again. Now it's Aeon mall too.' @BlazeVN added: 'Vietnamese here, it's mostly in Sai Gon. This year we had like 3 attempted suicidal [sic] in Van Hanh Mall.' Commenting on the possible motivations behind such incidents, @tyrano_dyroc said: 'When people commit suicide in a densely packed public area, it's typically because they wanted to be stopped or it's their way of 'getting back' at society by traumatizing them.' Others highlighted the shock felt by performers and attendees. @DogePunch said: 'The performers were really shocked. Took them some time to register properly of what happened. Thank goodness they were not hurt.' In response to similar cases, some malls have adjusted their layouts to reduce risk. @Time_Resort4057 shared: 'The mall in my area... installed a big safety net for the floor above. Well not every floor, every 3 floors. Though the net actually kinda looks like a fun playground if no one knows better. Pretty sturdy looking.'
