Here I am writing two back-to-back articles on accidents involving reckless Singapore-registered vehicles in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. 

This time, it involves a hotter hatch than the Volkswagen Golf GTI (Read it here) - the Mercedes A45 AMG.

Watch the video of the accident here:

What Happened?

The following accident occurred in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, in the early hours of 8th May, Sunday.

A Mercedes A45 was gunning down the road of Jalan Johor Bahru - Kota Tinggi (Jalan Serampang Intersection) at high speed.

Somehow or rather, the Mercedes driver lost control of his hot hatch and skidded.

As a result, it slams into a total of five vehicles (including the cam car) before coming to a stop in the middle of the road. 

Among the five vehicles, four were waiting at a red-light in the opposite direction where the Mercedes driver came from. 

According to Johor Bahru Selatan District Police Headquarters, the Mercedes driver was tested negative for driving under the influence of alcohol and substance. 

Also, Johor Bahru Selatan District Police Headquarters have since launched an official investigation into this accident under section 43 (1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.

Thank goodness those involved managed to escape with only minor injuries. 

Here's wishing all those involved in the accident a speedy recovery!

P.S. I am guessing the Mercedes driver's insurance company ain't gonna be happy about this!

The involvement of numerous parties and foreign-registered vehicle(s) seems like this will make this accident claim a troublesome one.

Aftermath of the Accident

Below are some snippets of the accident scene.

The Mercedes A45 seems like it was damaged the most during the accident compared to the other vehicles - the hot hatch looks like a complete wreck! 

Do you think the A45 is salvageable? Or would it be heading for the scrapyard back in Singapore?

It seems that the Mercedes A45 driver was hell-bent on speeding through the junction and trying to beat the red traffic light. 😕

it is unfortunate. The Merc driver should get seriously injured, so he won't endanger others life again in the future. 

NGL, I was not expecting such a comment😆

As for the watermark, maybe can ask the graphic designer/ webmaster to reduce the opacity :grin:

  • A sole-ful tribute

    Car enthusiasts are an emotional bunch. So, I naturally develop feelings for things on wheels, be it four wheels or two. However, I was surprised to discover that I had become attached to my old pair of sneakers, whose soles are so worn that it hurts to wear them.  That is the unequivocal signal to retire them. But I must say "Thank you" before bidding them goodbye. The laceless design is convenient, saving time when you need to rush off in the morning Through thick and

    Hard Enduro: The ultimate motorsport?

    I enjoy motorsports of all kinds - four wheels good, two wheels better. And while watching them on TV (okay let's be honest Youtube, who even watches TV nowadays) is fun, getting to partake in anything even remotely resembling it, even in a highly truncated, totally superficial manner, is even more exciting.  Earlier this year, I did a short 2.5 day off-road riding 'tour', and it was easily the hardest, most physically demanding 2.5 days I've ever spent on a motorbike. It really gives you a
