Tour bus driver tests positive for drugs following seven-vehicle crash

A tour bus driver, in his forties and with a history of 29 previous offences, tested positive for methamphetamine following a seven-vehicle crash at the Jalan Lapangan Terbang Subang exit. Police chief Assistant Commissioner Shamsudin Mamat confirmed the driver would be brought to court tomorrow for a remand application. The crash, which occurred around 9:15am, involved the bus losing control on its way from Shah Alam towards Petaling Jaya, causing it to collide with two vehicles and then four others.

A local man in his 30s was injured and taken to Sungai Buloh Hospital. The bus had no passengers on board at the time. The incident is being investigated under a specific provision of the Road Transport Act 1987. Shamsudin urged drivers to follow traffic laws to avoid accidents and reminded the public to assist investigations by coming forward with any relevant information.
