Accident happened on Saturday 1am on 130km PLUS, near Butterworth. Myvi driver has RM3000 cash and some Thai Baht in his wallet.

I believe the BMW components are designed to break off during impact just like a F1 car because impact forces are transfered/diverted away from the passenger cabin.

how the accident happened and who's fault remains uncertain... but usual highway accidents are result of excessive speed, stationary vehicles, wet roads, poor lighting & stupid drivers changing lanes without notice
