BALIK PULAU - An elderly woman who suffered chest pains while behind the wheel ended up straying into the opposite lane, leading to a crash involving six vehicles in an incident along Jalan Balik Pulau here today.

Southwest district police chief Superintendent Kamarul Rizal Jenal said two people were seriously hurt in the 9 am incident, which involved three cars and three motorcycles.

He said the 59-year-old driver experienced chest pains while driving from Balik Pulau town. Her car strayed into the opposite lane before colliding with a car coming from Simpang Empat.
