Viral video of overturned car not linked to drink driving, say cops
The incident occurred at approximately 10am on July 7, when a Proton Saga was reportedly slowing down due to traffic congestion ahead, as several vehicles were turning left into Jalan SS15/4.
Subang Jaya district police chief Assistant Commissioner Wan Azlan Wan Mamat said a Toyota Vios, which was travelling behind the Proton Saga, failed to stop in time and rear-ended the car.
"The impact caused the Toyota Vios to veer off course and overturn.
"Fortunately, both drivers did not suffer any serious injuries," he said in a statement.
The case is being investigated under Section 43 of the Road Transport Act 1987 for careless and inconsiderate driving.
Wan Azlan also clarified that a viral video allegedly showing a driver operating a vehicle while under the influence was unrelated to this incident.
"That particular case took place in the Petaling Jaya district on May 23, 2025, and is being handled by the authorities there," he said.
Police reminded motorists to always maintain a safe following distance and remain alert to traffic conditions to avoid similar incidents.
Meanwhile, a video showing the same individual involved in another crash with an MPV has surfaced on social media, where the man appeared disoriented when confronted.
In the viral clip, a man is heard confronting the driver, asking whether he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol during that incident.
The man was seen swaying and was unable to stand still in the video.
Wan Azlan confirmed that, in the Subang Jaya incident, the man tested negative for any substance abuse.
