One of the basic driving rules every new driver is taught is NOT to speed or drift when driving around sharp corners as it can lead to catastrophic accidents.
Residents in Bukit Jambul, Penang, were left stunned after a Perodua Viva plunged right into a drain while turning around a corner along the road.
Perodua Viva falls into massive drain while driving around corner
The frightening incident was shared to the Facebook group PenangToday Community yesterday (Nov 12) in a series of photos.
As seen from the photos, a silver Perodua Viva is seen lying on the front passenger’s side inside a drain several metres deep.

The car’s windows were also completely shattered and its rear bumper reduced to a crumpling heap due to the impact of the fall.
According to the caption, the accident occurred when the driver reportedly lost control of the vehicle while making a turn along a road leading towards INTI College Bukit Jambul.
This then caused the car to crash into a divider before plunging into the drain. It’s also unknown whether there were any casualties as a result of the accident.

Road known to be unsafe
Needless to say, netizens were shocked by the sight of the Perodua Viva falling into the drain and expressed their thought about it.
A netizen speculated that the accident was most likely caused by the driver’s inexperience and driving above the speed limit.

Some claimed that the road has long been known as a hotspot for accidents as drivers tend to speed without regard for other people’s safety.


Meanwhile, others called for the authorities to install guardrails along the road in order to prevent similar accidents from occurring.

We hope no one was hurt in the accident and always observe the speed limit, especially during bad weather!
