Car Plunges Into Sea After Accident, Malaysia

The identity of the driver of a SUV vehicle involved in an accident at KM4 of the Penang Bridge before it plunged into the sea in the early hours yesterday morning has been identified as 20-year-old M. Y. P..

District police chief said the owner of the Mazda CX-5 vehicle had lodged a police report at 5pm yesterday after his 20-year-old son who was driving the vehicle failed to return to the family home in Butterworth.

“The 63-year-old man lodged a police report after his son failed to return home and he received information from his son’s friend that the victim was believed to have been involved in an accident at the Penang Bridge before the vehicle plunged into the sea.

According to the father, the victim was a student of a private college and lives in Taman Kempas, Butterworth.

As of now, three independent witnesses and two friends had turned up to assist in the investigations into the accident.

“Police have recorded their statements including two friends as well as an independent witness who saw the incident and handed over his ‘dash cam’ video recording to assist the police,” he said.

The case was classified under Section 42 (1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 and investigations still ongoing.

The sports utility vehicle that fell off the Penang Bridge has been retrieved.

Rescue personnel started the actual operation to hoist the 1.5-tonne car from the sea at around 5.45pm on Tuesday (Jan 22), and took about 20 minutes to bring it up onto the bridge.

The car, which is in a badly-mangled state, was hoisted using four cables attached to a crane.

The recovery team grew solemn upon seeing a lifeless body, believed to be that of Moey Yun Peng, inside the mangled car.

Initially, the first harness that divers strapped around the car underwater snapped before the wreckage could even surface.

The divers then went down a second time with a larger harness, and were successful this time.

“We had to wait until the tide was at the lowest and the current slowed down, before we could safely dive in and strap the car,” said one of the recovery personnel on the bridge, who declined to be named.
