Car crashed into Proton Showroom, Jalan Pahang

As I was still watching live match of Liverpool v.s Westham just now, I heard a very loud crash outside my house. It occurred to me that was just probably some truck with a full load of sands collided on the road. And the location must be the blindspot outside Maybank, Jalan Pahang.

I did not intend to ‘keypoh’ until I saw two helicopters flying around with the spotlights on at my residential area. They were both quite close to the ground, probably 300-500m away. My instinct told me it must be something dead serious happening in front of the shop row. I was curious whether the helicopter was searching for run-away criminals or they were used to watch how serious the traffic occurred because of all the keypohchees (busybody). I looked out from the back of my house and I saw a long stretch of traffic just in front of Galleria shopping mall, the abandoned mall. But on the other side of the road seemed empty, more motorbikes were parked on the roadside if compare to normal days.

I decided to find out what’s happening out there. I took my fully charged digi camera with me since I thought it would be very handy in case the news agency doesn’t have a coverage on it. Sorry, no news is good news. I really don’t feel like blogging about this whole incident. However the photos will surely remind us to drive carefully if we can’t see far ahead.

As I was approaching the crowd, my heart beat faster. I didn’t want to see blood scenes or any uncensored scenes which will cause me having nightmare. Then I saw this.

It's not Jackie Chan's stunt movie aiyoo, this is not Jackie Chan’s stunt movie!

 People looking around Does this make sense to you?

 Big mess Smashed tables, chairs and glasses everywhere.

 Senget Tiang Senget Lamp-post

 Tengok apa? Pigi pigi... Police busy controlling traffic, “lu tengok apa? Cepat pigi!” to the busybody drivers.

Yes, I couldn’t imagine poor Proton Showroom Jalan Pahang had the same fate of repeating a crash into the business unit. At one time I thought it is another Jackie’s Chan movie. The accident happened around 11.45pm on 13 May 2006. I wtinessed neither the driver nor passengers inside the car. I did see some blood stain on the pedestrian path, it was too intense to take those photos.

Do you think the cause of it was blind-spot area? Or do you think the driver was too fast and furious? Or a combination of both?

Please, I urge you not to drive real fast on the way from Jalan Genting Klang especially when approaching the pedestrian bridge, where you can see REAL LONG AND BIG MAXIS advertisement. There is where the blind spot. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO STOP YOUR CAR ON THE ROAD SIDE TO WITHDRAW MONEY FROM THE DAMN BANK!!! Especially at NIGHT! Most drivers drive really fast down from the slope and endangering others’ lives while trying to cut from fast lane to enter the street heading to Titiwangsa. Now i guess the hero drove into the Proton show room could be of the reason. Or he/she was trying to avoid the cars parked outside Maybank. I have got a picture here to give you a better understanding.
