This Car Wants To Fly

A freak accident nearly claims three lives at the Kuching International Airport this morning.

The car with its driver and a passenger and a man clinging for his dear life on the hood nearly plunge thirty feet from the first floor departure level down to the airport’s ground floor.

In the 9am incident, the public who saw it said it was like something out of an action movie when the man, in his 40s, was clinging onto the front of the car for about 50 metres as it skidded and swerved across the tiled floor outside the departure hall.


The vehicle, a Proton Wira, finally came to a halt when it crashed into the metal security railing at the end of the departure hall.

According to witnesses, the Wira had earlier rear ended a Kelisa which was being driven by a man who had just dropped off two of his friends for departure.

The Kelisa driver got out of his car to inspect the damage, when suddenly the Wira suddenly jerked forward onto the tiled floor and knocked a man onto its hood in the process.

The already out-of-control Wira nearly crashed into the glass partition of the departure hall had the driver not swerved his vehicle away at the last minute.

In a state of panic the driver was unable to bring the Wira under control before it crashed into the metal railing.

The driver was not injured but the man on the hood suffered a suspected broken leg and some minor cuts to his body.
