JOHOR BARU: Police have arrested a 32-year-old foreign man for allegedly driving against the flow of traffic here.
Johor Baru North OCPD Asst Comm Azrol Anuar Nor said the incident was believed to have happened at about 10.46pm on Tuesday (Nov 10) along Jalan Banjaran Utama Kempas.
"Initial investigations found that the car driven by the foreigner entered the opposite lane and collided with another car driven by a 26-year-old local man.
"The collision caused the foreigner's car to veer off to the left side of the road.
"Both drivers escaped unhurt in the incident," he said in a statement on Wednesday.
ACP Azrol Anuar said police arrested the foreign man, who will be brought to the Johor Baru Magistrate's Court on Thursday for a remand application to assist in investigations.
He said the case was being investigated under Section 42(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for reckless and dangerous driving.
Earlier, a video showing a man standing near a black car that had veered off the road and ended up on a grassy area went viral on social media.
