Traffic Accident During a Trip
The Victim Was None Other Than This
Netizens Had Mixed Reactions
A recent review of a traffic accident involving a South Korean traveler in Malaysia has gained attention online. On August 13, a post appeared on various online forums with the warning: “A traffic accident that shattered the legend—beware of the photos.” The post features a netizen, who seems to have just returned from Malaysia, sharing a screenshot of a chat with a friend and providing details about the incident.
In the chat, the traveler informs his friend about the accident that affected his travel group. He also includes a photo from the scene, which shows a severely damaged vehicle parked on the roadside late at night. The impact of the crash left the vehicle’s bumper extensively crumpled.
The vehicle struck none other than a Malaysian tiger
After viewing the photo, his friend asked if the driver had been drinking. In response, the traveler sent another image, hinting that the other party involved in the accident was even more surprising. The new photo showed a giant tiger lying unconscious on the side of the road. The traveler commented, “Roadkill, the tiger…”
Despite the nation’s genuine love for them, Malaysian tigers face extinction
In Malaysia, tigers hold significant cultural importance and are even featured on the national emblem. Unfortunately, these majestic animals face severe roadkill threats and other dangers. Experts have recently warned that Malaysia may face a national emergency as tiger populations are rapidly dwindling.
Vehicle collisions with tigers are becoming increasingly common. In May, a tiger was struck and killed by a car while crossing a highway in central Malaysia. Later, in late June, another Malayan tiger was found dead in a river in the northern region, with roadkill suspected as the cause of death.
