Durian season can draw crowds, but this was not the kind of drive-through anyone ordered. A photo showing a car that had crashed into a durian stall has gone viral. Did such an incident happen in Kepong as claimed?
Verdict:
TRUE
Kuala Lumpur Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department deputy chief Supt Suffian Abdullah said a car had crashed into a durian stall on Jalan Mergastua, Kepong Baru after it was believed to have entered the wrong lane.
He said the incident, which occurred at 10.25pm on Saturday (July 25), involved a Toyota Corolla driven by a 29-year-old local man, who was believed to have entered the opposite lane before hitting a Honda City.

No injuries were reported involving both drivers or members of the public.
He said further investigations were ongoing, including taking the drivers' statements, obtaining CCTV footage and tracing witnesses.
The case is being investigated under Section 42(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.
