A house in Hulu Terengganu was nearly demolished to the ground after a car suddenly barreled its way right through it, resulting in significant damage to both the house and car.
A police investigation later revealed that the person behind the wheel did not possess valid documents that allowed him to be on the road.
Car rams into house after skidding off road
Hulu Terengganu district police chief Superintendent Sharudin Abdul Wahab said the incident occurred at about 8.30pm yesterday (Dec 23) when the Proton Preve driver was travelling from Telemong towards Tanjung Putat.
Initial investigations found that the vehicle suddenly lost control upon reaching the location, skidded to the left side of the road and crashed into a house in Kampung Chepoh, Telemong.
As a result of the crash, the 21-year-old driver suffered injuries to his face and head.
He was taken to Hulu Terengganu Hospital for initial treatment before being referred to Sultanah Nur Zahirah Hospital (HSNZ), reported Sinar Harian.
Had no driver’s license
Sharudin said the car sustained severe damage to its front, while the house also suffered damage, with part of the roof and walls collapsing.
Checks later found that the driver did not hold a valid driving licence.
“The vehicle involved will be sent to the Computerised Vehicle Inspection Centre (Puspakom) for further inspection, and the case is being investigated under Section 43(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987,” he added.
