SINGAPORE \u2013 A Singaporean man had injuries to his hands, feet and head after he was hit by a car while crossing a road in Johor Bahru.<\/p>\n
The accident occurred on April 3 at about 3.40pm at the 2km mark of Jalan Tun Abdul Razak in Johor Bahru, said Johor Bahru South District police chief Raub Selamat in a statement on April 5.<\/p>\n
Preliminary investigations indicate that the accident involved a Perodua Myvi car and a pedestrian.<\/p>\n
The Singaporean man \u2013 who works as a travel agent \u2013 was struck by the Malaysian motorist, a Grab driver, who was unable to avoid the pedestrian who had suddenly crossed the road, the police said.<\/p>\n
The victim had injuries to his hands, feet and head, and is currently receiving treatment at the National University Hospital in Singapore, the police added.<\/p>\n
Dashcam footage from a vehicle not involved in the accident and uploaded on Facebook page Community Roda Johor shows a man making his way across a section of a road that does not appear to be a pedestrian crossing. <\/p>\n
As another car \u2013 identified by Malaysian police as a Perodua Myvi \u2013 approaches the man, he appears to fall on the road and is hit by the vehicle.<\/p>\n
An overhead bridge can be seen farther ahead.<\/p>\n
In their statement, the police said the public should comply with traffic laws and not cross roads in undesignated areas, which could endanger pedestrians and other road users.<\/p>\n
Police investigations are ongoing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
