Johor Bahru Utara police chief Balveer Singh said in the 4am incident, the car, which was coming from Skudai, was believed to have gone out of control before hitting the two Kawasaki EX250 motorcycles parked at the scene.

“Two policemen, aged 29 and 36, were directing traffic at the location. One sustained a leg injury and was treated at Sultanah Aminah Hospital, while the other officer and the driver were unhurt,” he said in a statement today.

The driver tested positive for alcohol, while an initial urine test was negative for drugs.

“The suspect has been remanded for two days from Sept 7 to 8 with the approval of the magistrates court. The case is being investigated under Section 44(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs,” he said.

If convicted, the offender faces 10 to 15 years’ jail, a fine of between RM50,000 and RM100,000, and a 10-year driving licence suspension.

Balveer urged those with information on the incident to contact investigating officer Noor Azlina Abdul Raof at 019-7432966.
