Former Perak mentri besar Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin sustained light injuries after his car turned turtle at Jalan Dr Raja Nazrin Shah here.
His former political secretary Mohd Misbahul Munir Masduki said Nizar was well and had only sustained slight scratches on his face and a cut on his right elbow following the accident at 9.20am on Thursday.
”He was trying to avoid a car that was coming from behind, and his car swerved onto the middle divider before it turned turtle,” he told reporters at Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital where Nizar was seeking treatment.
Misbahul said Nizar had crawled out from the wreck by himself after the accident.
”A passer-by who saw the accident quickly rushed Nizar to the hospital for medical attention,” he added.
The front part of the roof and the windscreen of the car were crushed.
Misbahul said Nizar had an appointment with a dentist in the city and was driving there alone from his home in Sungai Rokam.
At 11am, Nizar was wheeled out smiling and waving to pressmen after receiving outpatient treatment at the hospital.
Also present at the hospital were Nizar’s wife Datin Seri Fatimah Taat and several Pakatan Rakyat leaders.
Misbahul said Nizar, however, was needed to be warded for a night after a test showed that he has high-blood pressure.
”His blood pressure probably shot up after the accident,” he added
