SEGAMAT: A woman was detained yesterday after she was caught driving against the flow of traffic near SK Bukit Hampar here.

In a statement, he said a urine test revealed that the suspect, in her 40s, tested negative for drugs. A background check also confirmed that she has no criminal record.
The woman was arrested by the Segamat police headquarters’ traffic investigation and enforcement division and is being investigated under Section 42(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for reckless and dangerous driving, he said.
