KUALA LUMPUR: Police have arrested the 40-year-old driver of a Lexus car that crashed into six vehicles on the Bukit Jalil Highway last Saturday after he was found to be driving under the influence of drugs.
Cheras police chief Zam Halim Jamaluddin said the incident occurred at about 10.30am near the Lumba Kuda Roundabout after the man, a Malaysian, lost control of his car and crashed into six other vehicles that had stopped at a traffic light. He added that the Lexus had also overturned following the crash.
“The accident damaged the other vehicles but no one was injured,” he said in a statement.
He said the 40-year-old man was taken to the Kuala Lumpur traffic police station where he tested positive for marijuana.
The driver is now under arrest and the case is being investigated under Section 42 of the Road Transport Act 1987 for reckless and dangerous driving, he added.
