On the way to a wedding

Sunday 27th May was supposed to be a day trip to Kulai which was about 3 hrs drive from Shah Alam to celebrate the wedding of my ex student. At 10.30 am on the south bound NS Highway we were involved in 6 car bumper to bumper collision. Our CRV must have a good braking system because my husband managed to brake in time not to hit the Mercedes in front but the taxi behind us could not do the same. The crashing sound was terrible. It was like we were relieved that our CRV stopped in time but we were also bracing for the back collision at the same time. The sound was terrible and I was screaming like "OH NO! MY CAR!" So there we were........6 cars in a row but the last managed to run off after knocking the taxi behind us.

The cause of this accident was the first car, a black Proton Wira rented by 2 Pakistanis or Bangladeshis. The driver said the car system suddenly jammed but later they changed the story and told the police that the car in front was so slow so they slowed down and the white Honda Accord at the back hit them because the Korean driver was going too fast. There were 3 Malay girls, passengers in the Honda Accord and they were going to a friend's wedding in Ledang. The Accord was hit from behind by a Mercedes driven by a Chinese guy. His Mercs was lucky because our CRV managed to break in time. But my poor cute CRV was hit in her behind by the Proton taxi driven by an Indonesian driver with a red IC. And his taxi was also hit from behind but that last car quickly fled the scene. This happened in the fast lane so we all drove to the emergency lane quickly. But the taxi had to be pushed because it cannot be driven at all.

Come to think of it, this accident involved 5 different races, different nationalities. There were no fights, arguments or screaming incidents except when  the the Mercedes driver used a four letter word............ Anyway we all went to make reports at the Seremban 2 police station and we gave a ride to the taxi driver.

After the reports were settled we were determined to still drive to Kulai. It was already 1.30pm. Along the way I heard this unsettling vibrations from the exhaust pipe and I became so worried. We stopped and checked, saw the bumper was hanging lower than before. And the exhaust pipe was looking quite loose. Finally at the Air Keroh Interchange I decided to turn back. So we head back to Shah Alam around 3 pm.

SO kesian Fairus Tabiee, tak dapatlah saya sama-sama meraikan hari bahagia you dan isteri.

Anyway all the best and we pray for everlasting happiness to Fairus and his wife.
