Shah Alam district police chief Baharudin Mat Taib said initial investigations revealed that a Mitsubishi Triton four-wheel-drive, which was travelling from Kuala Lumpur to Klang against the flow of traffic, crashed head-on with a Proton Wira about 2am.
“The two victims, an 18-year-old girl, who was the driver of the car, and a 19-year-old male, died on the spot,” he said in a statement today.
Baharudin said both victims were taken to Hospital Shah Alam for a post-mortem.
He said the driver of the four-wheel-drive vehicle tested positive for ganja and had been remanded for six days from today.
The case is being investigated under Section 41 of the Road Transport Act 1987 for reckless driving and causing death.
