While driving on the road is usually seen to be an activity that carries a level of risks, it’s not everyday that you’ll see a car plunging down from a parking lot.
This was unfortunately what happened to a young man who sent his car falling right off from a parking lot in Seremban after he stepped on the accelerator by accident.

According to a report by Utusan, the accident took place at the Terminal 1 Transport Hub yesterday morning (Sept 8).
Speaking to the Malay daily, the hub’s manager, Mohd. Hafiz Talib, said the accident occurred at around 11.45am and involved a Honda City driven by a 19-year-old teen.
The car was supposed to head toward the exit, but the driver accidentally stepped on the gas pedal, causing the vehicle to lunge forward, crash through the barrier, and plunge down.
“Another car, which was unoccupied and parked below, suffered minor damage to the front as a result of the incident,” he said.
Mohd. Hafiz added that he was told the driver had reportedly suffered a seizure before the accident happened and was later taken to a private hospital here by his mother, who owned a mobile phone shop at the Terminal 1 shopping mall.
Meanwhile, Seremban district police chief Assistant Commissioner Mohamad Hatta Che Din said preliminary investigations revealed that the teen was leaving the parking lot to return to his home in Seremban 2.
The teen sustained a head injury due to the accident but thankfully no other casualties were reported.
We hope the teen makes a speedy recovery soon and we’re also thankful to see that no one else was hurt!
