“In the crash, the suspect, who was driving a Perodua Myvi on the left lane, drew up alongside a Honda Jazz on the right lane before it returned to the left lane.
“He tried to change lane once again but collided with a Honda Civic, causing the Civic to lose control and ram into the road divider before crashing into the rear end of the Myvi,” said Ibrahim.
The boy is currently being treated at Tuanku Ja'afar Hospital in Seremban.
The Myvi driver has been arrested, added Ibrahim.
A video circulating on social media shows the boy, who is wearing a red T-shirt, lying on his stomach on the highway.
