Malaysia - January 2019. 20-year-old college student, Yun Peng, died after his car was knocked off the Penang Bridge by a reckless driver. A dashcam video from a nearby car showed a black Toyota Vios knocking the rear of Yun Peng’s Mazda CX-5, causing it to flip thrice across three lanes of the bridge before plunging into the water. Yun Peng’s body was in the driver's seat with the safety belt still fastened.

A 140-person search and recovery team only managed to lift out the white Mazda two days after the incident, due to choppy seas and unfavorable weather. The car was submerged 15m underwater at Pier 34 of the bridge, leading towards Perai.

The driver of the black Toyota Vios, M. Vaitheswaran, 21, is accused of driving recklessly and causing the death of Yun Peng. The charge carries a maximum of 10 years' jail, a maximum fine of RM20,000 (S$6,700), or both upon conviction. Vaitheswaran pleaded not guilty to the charge.

The latest news on the case is that on September 29th, 2021, a court ordered the 23-year-old former hairstylist M. Vaitheswaran to enter his defense over reckless driving and killing of the 20-year-old college student in the accident on the Penang Bridge two years ago. Sessions court judge said the prosecution has proved prima facie(first impression) in the case and the accused would next be asked to enter his defense. The judge then set Oct 28 and 29 for three witnesses, namely the accused, his mother, and a medical specialist, to give their sworn evidence. Vaitheswaran faces a maximum of 10 years in jail, an RM20,000 fine, or both if found guilty.

Yun Peng had asked his father's permission to use the car, to drive to his friend’s birthday party on the island. Yun Peng’s funeral was held at the Berapit Chinese Cemetery. About 200 of his family members and friends were at his family home for the religious rites and to pay him their last respects.

As morbid as it is, this is a fantastic post.

Video of the incident, tons of shots of the aftermath, news coverage, and updated court proceedings. Absolutely well done putting all this together. Those before and after pictures of the poor guy really show you just how quickly things can change in life.

-Both going about the same speed

-Mazda hard braking behind white car that changed lanes anticipating to get hit

-Both cars on adjacent lanes before the left one swerved

Yeah really. And I bet that if the article stated that they were racing NPC’s like you would accept it without question.

Racing in a mazda suv? I doubt it and if he was in the fast lane its normal to be going faster than the other lanes??

Lol. Compared to racing in a Toyota? And no going in the fast lane doesn’t mean you can mindlessly speed without looking at the car ahead. The fact that I have to explain again that the car ahead of him changed lanes seeing him zoom behind him is so tiresome lol. It’s like normies like you only care about being right and not being correct.

I almost want to say the guy in the white vehicle sped up to stop the guy from passing, yeah, he was being an asshole, but the other guy was the bigger asshole, speeding at an uncontrollable level. That said, fuck around and find out. Dude I’m the white vehicle was fine with the speeder either slamming the breaks, or hitting his car or someone else’s. I don’t know what really happened, I don’t know shit at all. Yet, I’ve been there, I hit the gas to try to block someone barreling down the road, I was lucky though. Poor bastard paid a huge price for his actions

Just a little bit more grip, or a little bit more slip, and it could have been the guy on the motorcycle, or the car in the middle lane. Give that fucker in the speeding car the full jail sentence, but the dude in the white car was ready for some carnage, only it found him first

This is why I HATE street racers and adrenaline junkie automobile enthusiasts.

Getting cheap thrills out of shit that endangers the lives of others on the road.

Shout out to all the "car" bros. You guys totally aren't normies or anything with basic-bitch, un-unique interests and hobbies.

Having an interest in cars is totally super rare and makes you a unique individual that stands out amongst the crowd.
