POLICE arrested a man who allegedly caused a five-vehicle accident at KM243.3 of the southbound North-South Expressway yesterday.

Seremban district police chief Nanda Maarof said the 28-year-old suspect, who was driving a Perodua Myvi, was nabbed at the scene.

“During the arrest, the man was believed to be high on drugs and police checks also found a transparent plastic packet containing dried plants suspected to be cannabis weighing 3.39g in his vehicle.

“The suspect, who is unemployed, has been remanded for four days starting today. The case is being investigated under sections 6 and 15(1)(a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952,” he said in a statement today.

In the 10.40am incident, the suspect is believed to have lost control of his car and crashed into the rear of a Toyota Avanza driven by a 44-year-old man.

Nanda said following the collision, the Toyota Avanza flipped several times and hit two other cars while its rear tyre was thrown off to the opposite lane, hitting another Perodua Myvi.

All the victims escaped unhurt. – Bernama, June 6, 2022.
