MPV crashes into four parked cars in Temerloh
TEMERLOH: Four anglers fishing at a floating jetty along Sungai Pahang had a rude shock when a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) crashed into their parked cars at Km4 of Jalan Triang-Temerloh yesterday.
The 52-year-old Toyota Vellfire MPV driver escaped with only minor injuries in the 1am crash.
District police chief Assistant Commissioner Mazlan Hassan said the four anglers had parked their vehicles along the roadside while they were engaged in fishing activities at the nearby jetty.
"Investigations revealed that the Vellfire driver, who was travelling from Gemas, Negri Sembilan, to Temerloh, had swerved to avoid a lorry that had entered his lane.
"The MPV veered into the opposite lane and crashed into two Proton Personas, a Perodua Myvi, and a Perodua Viva, all of which were parked on the road shoulder," he said in a statement.
He said the MPV driver's urine test came back negative and police were investigating him for failing to maintain control of his vehicle.

Cops cripple Sepang drug ring run by married couple [WATCH]
SEPANG: A small-scale drug trafficking group, run by a married couple and two accomplices, was dismantled by police after operating in Sepang for nine years. The group had been using rented cars and hotels to traffic drugs since 2016. Their operation came to a halt after police arrested the four in separate raids on Wednesday. District police chief Assistant Commissioner Norhizam Bahaman said that in the first raid, police seized various types of drugs with an estimated street value of RM16,500. This included 84.32g of syabu, 65g of heroin, 14g of ketamine, and 97g of Erimin 5 pills, totalling 300 tablets. "A rented Perodua Myvi, believed to be used in drug distribution activities, was also confiscated," he told a press conference, adding the couple was arrested first. "Initial investigations revealed that the syndicate regularly changed cars and used hotels to conceal their movements. Police believe they were paid about RM1,600 per delivery trip," he said. Norhizam said one of the suspects, the husband, has six prior criminal and drug-related offences. He was also wanted in connection with a robbery. "Urine tests found the husband was positive for amphetamine and methamphetamine, while the wife tested negative." Norhizam said a follow-up raid, based on information from the interrogation, led to the arrest of two more local men, aged between 35 and 39 years old. "In the second operation, police seized 515g of syabu, estimated to be worth RM20,000, along with another rented vehicle, a Perodua Viva. "Both suspects tested positive for amphetamine and methamphetamine." One of the accomplices has a record of eight criminal and drug-related offences and is also wanted in two active cases under the Dangerous Drugs Act for possession and use. Norhizam added that the suspects were childhood friends from the same village and had used the money from drug trafficking for a living. He also said all four suspects were remanded yesterday to assist investigations under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act for drug trafficking, which carries the death penalty or life imprisonment with at least 15 strokes of the rotan. "The woman was remanded for five days while the other three suspects were remanded for seven days each." Norhizam added that investigations are ongoing to identify and apprehend other members of the network still at large.

Father, two children hurt in crash at Pulau Indah junction
KUALA LUMPUR: A man and his two children sustained minor injuries following a three-vehicle crash at the Jalan Dato Hormat-Jalan Rahmat intersection in Pulau Indah at 7.16am today. The incident, recorded in a 35-second video that went viral online, involved a motorcycle and two cars. South Klang district police chief Assistant Commissioner Ramli Kasa said the motorcyclist had been travelling from Jalan Dato Ahmad Razali to Jalan Dato Harun when a Perodua Myvi failed to stop at the intersection and struck the motorcycle. "As a result of the crash, the motorcyclist was flung onto the bonnet of another vehicle, while both children were thrown onto the road," he said in a statement. The victims were treated for minor injuries at Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital. The case is being investigated under Section 43(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for careless and inconsiderate driving.
