Driver in Jalan Ampang head-on crash had chest pain, say cops
The victim had stopped at the traffic light junction when a blue Toyota Caldina headed in the opposite direction veered to her lane and crashed head-on into her vehicle. (Facebook pics) PETALING JAYA : The driver of a Toyota Caldina which entered the opposite lane before crashing head-on with a vehicle on Jalan Ampang, Kuala Lumpur, claimed he lost control of his car after experiencing some chest pain, say police. Kuala Lumpur traffic investigation and enforcement department chief Zamzuri Isa said the incident occurred around 11am on Saturday at a traffic light junction on Jalan Ampang in front of Gleneagles Hospital. The victim, 49, had stopped at the junction in her Jaecoo J7 when the blue Toyota, which was headed in the opposite direction, veered to her lane before crashing head-on into her vehicle. The impact caused the Jaecoo to back into a Lexus RX200T that was behind it at the junction. 'The accident was caused by the driver of the Toyota, a 57-year-old man, losing control of the vehicle. He claimed it was because he was having some chest pain. 'When met by investigating officers, he seemed to be in a stable condition,' Zamzuri said in a statement but gave no further details on the medical issue or treatment, if any, received by the man. He said the driver of the Jaecoo suffered minor injuries to her hand and legs, while the driver of the Lexus was not injured. The police were responding to a widely-shared Facebook post by a person who claimed to be the driver of the Jaecoo, with dashcam videos of the incident. The case is being investigated under Section 42(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for reckless driving.

Jalan Ampang bus lane extended to evenings from May 19 as passenger numbers surge
KUALA LUMPUR, May 16 — The dedicated bus lane along Jalan Ampang will be extended to cover the evening peak hours starting May 19, operating from 4.30pm to 7pm on weekdays (Monday to Friday). Rapid Bus Sdn Bhd (Rapid Bus), in a statement today, said the extension is being carried out in collaboration with the Selangor Public Works Department (JKR). It will cover a 0.62-kilometre stretch from the Jalan Memanda 1 junction to Jalan Memanda 9, and from the Jalan Cengal junction to the Jalan Wawasan Ampang traffic light junction. 'The move will benefit passengers on route 300 (Pandan Indah - Lebuh Ampang Hub) and route 303 (Mulia Jaya Terminal - Lebuh Ampang), as well as feeder bus services from Pandan Indah, Bukit Indah, Mulia Jaya and Lembah Jaya,' the statement said. Since the bus lane was introduced on July 3, 2023, the average daily number of passengers along Jalan Ampang has increased by 12.52 per cent — from 12,819 to 14,424. The lane has also helped reduce travel time by 10 to 15 minutes. Rapid Bus acting chief executive officer Ku Jamil Zakaria said the improved travel time and smoother journeys are expected to attract even more commuters to use public transport. He also reminded all road users to follow traffic rules and not misuse the bus lanes, as they are meant to benefit everyone. A three-month evaluation will be carried out together with JKR, the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (Miros) and the Ministry of Transport (MOT) to monitor travel times, bus speeds, road safety, and traffic conditions in the affected area. The public is encouraged to plan their journeys using the Pulse app, which can be downloaded from Google Play and the App Store. Real-time bus locations can also be tracked via Google Maps. For any enquiries or feedback, the public can contact Rapid KL through its official social media channels. — Bernama
