The falling tree directly impacted the Proton X70 police patrol car. Specifically, the rear windscreen was shattered, and the bonnet also sustained damage. These injuries to the vehicle were confirmed by Ab Rauf's press secretary, Ezlyn Fardiha Zainal.
Circumstances of the Incident

The Melaka Chief Minister was en route to a meeting in Kuala Lumpur in a Lexus 350. As his convoy passed in front of Kuwait Bank on Jalan Pinang, the tree uprooted and fell. Ab Rauf's vehicle was not hit by the tree, and he remained unharmed.

The section of Jalan Pinang where the tree fell was closed by authorities to facilitate clearing operations.
