Accidents usually occur because of human error or because of environmental factors. However, it is rare for someone to get hurt because of something that cannot be seen with the naked eye while on the road.
Recently, a motorist who was travelling along the Sungai Besi-Ulu Klang Expressway (SUKE) was injured due to a stretched thread across the road.
The incident was shared by the victim on his Twitter page.
According to the victim, he suffered an injury on the chin due to the stretched thread.
This incident happened two days ago (13 May) at about 6.30pm.
Hari ni, Isnin 13 Mei 2024 jam 6.30 petang.
