GEORGE TOWN: A chaotic road rampage left six people injured after a driver in a Proton X70 collided with four vehicles at multiple locations in George Town.
The incident occurred along Jalan Perak and the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway last night, leaving a trail of destruction.
Northeast district police chief ACP Abdul Rozak Muhammad confirmed that the 50-year-old driver first rear-ended a Perodua Myvi at a traffic light junction on Jalan Perak.
