KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 16 — A 42-year-old woman narrowly escaped injury after the Porsche she was driving caught fire following a collision with a Perodua Kancil at Kilometer 18, Jalan Kuala Sedili-Tanjung Balau last night.

Kota Tinggi district police chief Superintendent Yusof Othman said the crash occurred around 10:45pm when the woman lost control of her vehicle while traveling from Sedili to Sungai Rengit. It is believed she swerved to avoid a dog crossing the road, veering into the opposite lane and colliding with the Kancil, causing both vehicles to crash off the road.

Both drivers suffered minor injuries, and the woman managed to escape the Porsche before it was fully engulfed in flames.

The incident is being investigated for negligent driving under Rule 10 LN 166/59 of Traffic Rules, which carries a fine of up to RM300.
