Two police officers injured in Terengganu patrol car accident

Two police officers sustained injuries after their patrol car overturned while attempting to avoid a group of monkeys on the Jalan Simpang Bukit Kepah–Tapah road in Kampung Kepah, Terengganu.

The incident occurred around 4:30 p.m. during a routine patrol by the Hulu Terengganu District Police Headquarters Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Division. The driver, 26-year-old Corporal Muhammad Amirul Hafiz Ahmad, suffered a broken left arm, while his colleague, 44-year-old Corporal Khairil Azlan Abdul Latif, reported jaw pain.

Hulu Terengganu District Police Chief Superintendent Sharudin Abdul Wahab stated that the driver swerved to the right to avoid the animals, causing the vehicle to lose control and flip several times. The accident took place on a bend where the road surface was wet following recent rain.
