PETALING JAYA:
Police have arrested the 26-year-old driver of a Proton Inspira after a three-vehicle collision on the NKVE Highway that was captured on video and went viral on social media.

Kuala Lumpur traffic investigation and enforcement chief Zamzuri Isa said the incident occurred at about 11pm on May 9 at Km28 of the highway heading towards the Duta toll plaza.

He said a Proton Inspira skidded and stopped in the fast lane where it was hit by a Proton Wira and a Toyota Hilux.

The impact caused the vehicles to veer into the left road barrier, resulting in heavy damage to all three. No injuries were reported among the drivers involved.

Zamzuri said the case is being investigated under Section 42(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for reckless driving.

“Actions taken include obtaining CCTV footage from the scene, recording witness statements, visiting the scene, and inspecting and photographing the vehicles involved,” Zamzuri said in a statement.
