KUANTAN: A National Anti-Drugs Agency (AADK) personnel has been killed after the car he was driving was involved in a collision with a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) driven by a man suspected of being under the influence of drugs near Bera.
Bera police chief Supt Zulkiflee Nazir said Mohamed Sharif Mohamed Ali, 37, who was serving in Bera, died at the scene of the crash at about 10am on Friday (July 3) at KM18 of Jalan Temerloh-Bahau.
He said the victim was travelling from Triang towards Temerloh and the MPV driven by a 29-year-old male suspect with a 25-year-old passenger on board, was heading from Kuala Lumpur towards Triang.
"The MPV driver is believed to have lost control of his vehicle, which veered onto the opposite lane before colliding with the car driven by Mohamed Sharif, causing his car to skid onto the roadside shoulder," he said in a statement on Friday.
Zulkiflee said the MPV driver and passenger suffered minor injuries to their legs.
He said the MPV driver, who tested positive for Erimin 5, was detained and that the case is being investigated under Section 44 of the Road Transport Act 1987. – Bernama
