  "summary": "A 39-year-old driver who previously tested positive for drugs has been arrested again after being involved in a second car crash in Kuala Pilah. The incident occurred on Saturday around 2:45pm along Jalan Seremban-Kuala Pilah near Tanjong Ipoh, when the suspect's Toyota Vios collided with a Nissan Grand Livina and a Proton Wira. Police found suspected MDMA and Eramin in the suspect's urine, and he was taken to the Kuala Pilah police headquarters for further investigation. No injuries were reported among the drivers involved, but all three vehicles were damaged. This is the suspect's second arrest under Section 44(1A) of the Road Transport Act for driving under the influence of drugs, which resulted in injuries to other road users in a previous accident.",
