“The 25-year-old Honda Accord driver, and Toyota Avanza driver, 24, both male, suffered minor injuries and are treated in the same hospital while the 22-year-old lorry driver escaped unhurt,” said Sulizmie adding that the case was investigated under Section 41 (1) of the Road Transport Act 1987. -- BERNAMA
