A 27-year-old driver of a Singapore-registered car is currently under investigation by Malaysian police after allegedly causing a fatal accident on the Second Link Highway in Johor on Friday (9 May 2025).
The driver of a Singapore-registered red Maserati reportedly attempted an illegal U-turn at the 0.6km mark of the expressway and crashed into a central divider around 7pm.
The impact dislodged sections of the metal barrier, sending debris flying into the opposite lane where traffic was heading toward Singapore.

Malaysian Motorcyclist Died After Collision
A 26-year-old Malaysian motorcyclist travelling in the opposite direction collided with the debris and was thrown onto the road shoulder.
The victim suffered severe head and leg injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The accident also caused the motorcyclist’s storage box to be flung across the road, resulting in two other motorcyclists crashing into it. Fortunately, both riders escaped without injuries.
Police Investigation Underway
Iskandar Puteri district police chief Assistant Commissioner M. Kumarasan confirmed that the case is being investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for reckless driving causing death.
Dashcam footage of the incident has gone viral on social media, showing the moment the motorcyclist hit the dislodged barrier.
An Angry Crowd Confronts the Driver
Following the crash, several enraged motorists allegedly attacked the Maserati driver at the scene.
“They assaulted the suspect using a helmet before police managed to intervene,” Kumarasan told New Straits Times.

The luxury vehicle sustained significant damage during the confrontation, with videos showing motorcyclists surrounding the car and smashing its windows and windscreen with their helmets.
Police officers at the scene attempted to protect the driver and a passenger from the angry crowd.
Driver Claims Innocence
When questioned about the incident, the driver reportedly said in Malay: “I didn’t hit his vehicle, he hit the divider”.
The Second Link Highway, which connects Malaysia and Singapore, spans approximately 2km and is a major route for cross-border traffic.
Malaysian police are calling for witnesses to contact the district traffic or criminal investigation department at 07-5101322.
