KUALA LUMPUR: The driver of a Nissan Navara involved in a collision with a motorcycle near the Duta Toll Plaza is expected to be charged tomorrow.
He faces a charge of reckless and dangerous driving under Section 42(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.
The offence carries a jail term of up to five years, a fine of RM5,000 to RM15,000, and a minimum five-year driving ban.
Police obtained a one-day extension of the driver's remand to facilitate further investigation.
"We will refer the investigation paper (IP) to the deputy public prosecutor (DPP) at around 8.30am, and once we receive instructions to charge the driver, we will proceed accordingly," he said when contacted.
Zamzuri also urged anyone who witnessed the incident to come forward and assist with the investigation.
It was reported that a motorcyclist and his wife were injured after being thrown off their motorcycle when a pickup truck struck them on the North-South Expressway, an incident that has since gone viral on social media.
The incident was captured in a video and uploaded by the Facebook page DashCam Malaysia.
The driver of the Nissan Navara, a 32-year-old man, was unhurt in the incident and has since lodged a police report.
A remand order was obtained, and the suspect is currently being held at the Dang Wangi lock-up for two days to assist investigations.
