KUALA PILAH: A male driver who was previously involved in an accident involving five vehicles and tested positive for drugs was again involved in an accident along Jalan Seremban-Kuala Pilah, near Tanjong Ipoh town, here, last Saturday (Nov 7).
Kuala Pilah OCPD Supt Muhamad Mustafah Hussin said the accident at about 2.45pm was believed to have occurred when a car driven by the suspect, travelling from Seremban towards Bahau, rammed the rear of an MPV.
He said the impact caused the MPV to skid forward before hitting another car.
"Police urine screening found substances suspected to be MDMA and Eramin 5.
"The suspect was arrested and taken to the Kuala Pilah police headquarters for further investigation," he said in a statement on Monday (Nov 9).
Supt Muhamad Mustafah said the 39-year-old suspect had previously been charged under Section 44(1A) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for driving under the influence of drugs, resulting in injuries to other road users.
He said no injuries were reported among the drivers involved in the accident, although all three vehicles sustained damage. — Bernama
