The video of the purported hit-and-run accident, which was widely circulated on Saturday, 9 October, shows a dark-coloured Mazda knocking over the motorcyclist at a junction on Jalan Ampang-Tambun.
The 53-second clip drew criticism from netizens as the car sped away while the rider picked himself up from the ground and watched it turn the corner.
According to Bernama, Mior said the 48-year-old driver came forward to lodge a police report and to assist in investigations.
“Preliminary investigation found that the driver of the vehicle switched lanes suddenly while driving along Jalan Ampang-Tambun at about 9am [on Saturday],” the police chief said in a statement on Sunday, 10 October.
“This caused the 34-year-old food delivery rider to fall on the road and suffer minor injuries to his elbows and knees.”
The case will be investigated under Section 43(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for careless and inconsiderate driving.
