POLICE have arrested the driver and passenger of a car involved in a road crash at Batu 5, Jalan Ipoh, Kuala Lumpur on Friday after they tested positive for drugs.

Sentul district police chief Beh Eng Lai said the two men were detained at the Kuala Lumpur traffic police station after being taken there to undergo a urine screening test.

The 25-year-old driver is believed to have fallen asleep and rammed into the rear of a truck in front of him in the 12.30pm incident.

“Following the collision, the lorry hit the back of a motorcycle in the same lane, causing the rider to fall. However, no one was injured in the incident,” he said in a statement here today.

Beh said policemen who arrived at the scene saw the two men behaving suspiciously and brought them to the station for urine screening.

“The duo tested positive for methamphetamine, ketamine, Erimin 5, amphetamine and ganja. Both were investigated under rule 10 of the Road Traffic Rules 1959 and section 15(1) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952,” he said. – Bernama, March 5, 2023.
