Muar police chief Raiz Mukhliz Azman Aziz said the 8.42am crash occurred when a Ford Ranger driven by the 39-year-old suspect veered into the opposite lane from the direction of Lenga.

He said the vehicle collided with the motorcycle ridden by Norman Ahmad, 47, with his uncle, Sa’at Kassim, 77, as pillion rider, causing both to suffer severe head and bodily injuries.

They were pronounced dead while receiving treatment at Sultanah Fatimah Specialist Hospital.

“Police found 20 Eramin-5 pills weighing 5.15g and 0.39g of methamphetamine in the four-wheel-drive. The driver tested positive for methamphetamine in a urine test,” he said in a statement.

The suspect was arrested for driving under the influence of drugs as well as drug possession and drug abuse. He will be brought to the Muar magistrates’ court today for a remand application.
