Feel Good Run 2013 Accident
The ntv7 Feel Good Run 2013 had been held on last weekend 7/7/2013. Surprisingly, there was an accident involved 3 women runners at 5km mark. Even though all 3 of them survived, it must be quite a shock for them. Being rammed with a car is not the experience that you want to savor.
I had joined the run last year. In my opinion the stewards for the run were too easily bullied by the motorist to control the traffic for the runners. It is not easy to be a road stewards & that is why usually the person must be a tough & a muka tebal to do his job.
I hope any run organizer need to take note about the runner's safety issues in the future. Safety first, yo.
He said traffic police and wardens were present during the incident.
"The driver, in a red Proton Iswara, was permitted to make a U-turn and stay on the given lane on Km14 of the route in Bandar Utama, as the road was separated with cones.
"The driver, however, sped up and drove into the lane for runners, hit the three victims and drove away.
"The victims sustained bruises but all are conscious and stable."
The run was organised by ntv7 as part of its 15th anniversary celebrations. ntv7 said it had lodged a report at the Kota Damansara police station.
Group general manager of ntv7 and 8TV Airin Zainul said the organisers sent the injured to University Malaya Medical Centre, where they were given outpatient treatment.
He said the organisers had taken precautions to ensure the safety of all participants.
Bernama quoted Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin as saying that police were hot on the heels of the driver as they had the car's registration number.
By this evening, I read a news regarding the hit & run driver. Apparently, the number plate of the car had been identified & posted by none other than KJ (who by the way flagged the run) via twitter.
Timbalan Ketua Polis Daerah, Supritendan Fadil Masus berkata, suspek iaitu seorang lelaki berusia 29 tahun ditahan selepas membuat laporan di Balai Polis Trafik di sini kira-kira pukul 3 pagi ini.
Beliau berkata, lelaki berasal dari Taiping, Perak itu membuat laporan polis pada pukul 1 pagi selepas dinasihatkan dan dibawa ke balai berkenaan oleh seorang rakan.
"Dalam laporannya, pemandu itu mendakwa dia terlanggar peserta larian NTV7 'Feel Good Run' dan melarikan diri kerana bimbang dipukul orang ramai.
"Atas nasihat rakannya, dia dibawa ke Balai Polis Trafik untuk membuat laporan sebelum ditahan dua jam selepas itu," katanya ketika dihubungi hari ini.
Dalam kejadian kira-kira pukul 8 pagi kelmarin, tiga peserta wanita larian terbabit cedera selepas dilanggar sebuah kereta ketika acara itu berlangsung.
