People were stunned by a social media video that went viral early this morning of a white Toyota Vios being driven by a six-year-old who was with his three-year-old brother.
The two siblings allegedly wanted to visit a store 2.5 km away from their home without their parents’ knowledge.
According to Paultan, they both operated the vehicle with the older brother controlling the steering wheel and the younger sibling operating the accelerator pedal. However due to the collision, the car sustained significant damage on the front-left side.
Langkawi district police chief Assistant Commissioner Shariman Ashari confirmed that the incident happened at 11.15pm on 9 May in Simpang Kenyum, close to Kampung Titi Chanwang, Langkawi.
Berita Harian reported that the accident was believed to have happened when the car that was traveling from the direction of Kampung Ulu Melaka towards Kampung Nyiur Chabang skidded and hit a lamp post near Kampung Titi Chanwang.
The older brother suffered an injury to his forehead while the younger brother escaped with no injuries.
The case is being investigated under Section 43 of the Road Transport Act 1987 and Section 31(1) (a) of the Children Act 2001.
