An unfortunate accident occurred at Jalan Tali Air, Sawah Sempadan, Tanjong Karang this morning at 2:30 am when a Myvi collided with a Mercedes-Benz.
It all began when the 66-year-old Mercedes-Benz driver stopped his vehicle in the middle of the road. The reason for his behaviour remained unknown as of today. A Perodua Myvi was driving along the road, and it collided with the Mercedes Benz at full speed as it could not slow down in time.
