KOTA KINABALU: A lorry driver sparked a commotion at 3.41pm on Tuesday after ramming through the zinc-sheet gates of a construction site at KKIP Timur, near Telipok, damaging the rear of a Perodua Myvi in the process.

Shortly after, a Perodua Aruz was seen chasing the lorry along the road towards Tuaran.

According to a witness, Lee, 35, the lorry was swerving to prevent being overtaken by the Aruz.

“If that’s the case, employers should handle such issues internally to prevent dangerous situations like this,” he said.

A dashcam video of the incident was shared with Daily Express.

Lee also noted that police were spotted investigating the scene around 4.50pm.
