A dashboard camera captured the moment a Mazda CX-5 plunged off the Penang Bridge and into the sea, following a collision with a Toyota Vios along KM4 on the mainland-bound side of the bridge early Sunday morning.

The Perai Fire and Rescue department was alerted to the accident at 2.35am.

A search and rescue operation involving the Marine police was underway to find the occupants of the SUV.
