PETALING JAYA: A police patrol car engaged in a 56km chase on the North-South Expressway after a Toyota Altis driven by a man believed to be drunk yesterday.
The chase took place from Pedas, Negeri Sembilan, until Tangkak, Johor, where the 24-year-old driver and his passenger, a 17-year-old boy, were arrested.
The driver had been driving aggressively on the southbound highway, said Rembau district police chief, Hazri Mohamad, according to Harian Metro.
