Screenshots from the video which went viral, showing the 4WD vehicle hitting the motorcycle as it tried to overtake it. PETALING JAYA : Police have confirmed receiving reports lodged over an accident yesterday on the PLUS Highway that saw a four-wheel-drive vehicle sideswipe a middle-aged couple on a motorcycle before speeding off. In a statement today, Kuala Lumpur traffic police investigation and enforcement department chief Zamzuri Isa said a video of the incident was shared on Facebook by the DashCam Malaysia account and has since gone viral. He said the incident occurred at about 2.30pm on the PLUS Highway heading to the city centre, before the Jalan Duta toll plaza. Zamzuri said the first police report was lodged on the same day at 6.55pm by the driver of the Nissan Navara. 'The accident involved a Benelli TRK 502 motorcycle and the Nissan Navara. 'A preliminary investigation found that the motorcycle was moving straight on the left lane when the four-wheel-drive attempted to cut in front of another motorcycle, but hit the victims' motorcycle from the right,' he said. He said the collision threw the 53-year-old motorcyclist and the pillion rider, his 49-year-old wife, from their motorcycle to the road. The motorcyclist sustained a fractured collarbone and injuries to his ankle, while his wife suffered more serious injuries, including bleeding from the head, a fractured ankle and a broken right rib. 'They were taken to Sungai Buloh Hospital for treatment. 'The driver, a 32-year-old man, was uninjured. A remand application has been made and he is being held for two days at the Dang Wangi lockup to assist in the investigation,' he said. He said the case is being investigated under Section 42(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for reckless and dangerous driving. Zamzuri said the driver told police he feared he would be confronted by other road users, when asked why he left the scene of the accident.
