Fresh from the road rage incident involving a 50-year-old Malaysian man who repeatedly hit a Perodua Axia with his Toyota Hilux, which landed him an RM1,300 fine, another road incident in Johor Bahru, Johor, involving a 4-wheel-drive pickup truck has caught the attention of Malaysians.
This time, it involves a black Mitsubishi L200 Triton hitting a motorcyclist when changing lanes before driving away.

Dashcam footage of the incident has been circulating online, including in this Facebook post by Community Roda Johor – CRJ, which shows the pickup truck driving on the right lane suddenly switching lanes and hitting a motorcyclist who was riding on the middle lane.
This causes the motorcyclist and his Yamaha 135LC to fall and skid on the road multiple times due to the impact.
However, instead of slowing down and stopping, the Mitsubishi L200 Triton continued driving before the video abruptly ends.
