KUALA LUMPUR: The driver of a Proton Wira involved in a viral incident, where a Perodua Axia crashed into a ditch on the North-South Expressway, has been remanded for two days, according to Federal Traffic Enforcement and Investigation Department (TEID) director Datuk Seri Mohammed Hasbullah Ali. The arrest took place at the driver's residence in Puchong early today.
The TEID official stated that the remand order was granted to aid further investigations. The incident occurred between KM270 and KM275 of the North-South Expressway and has been captured on two dashcam recordings that have since gone viral on social media. In the footage, the Proton Wira encroached into the lane occupied by the Perodua Axia, leading the Axia driver to take evasive action.
As a result, the Axia lost control, veered off the expressway, and ended up in a ditch. Hasbullah earlier called for anyone with information on the Wira or its driver to assist with the investigation and advised motorists to drive cautiously and be considerate of other road users. He emphasized that the widespread use of dashcams could capture incidents on video, which could assist police investigations and lead to appropriate actions being taken in accordance with the law.
