The incident occurred at around 2:45pm on Jalan Seremban-Kuala Pilah near Tanjong Ipoh. The suspect, who was driving a Toyota Vios, collided with the rear of a Nissan Grand Livina, causing it to skid forward and hit a Proton Wira. Urine tests found suspected drugs, including MDMA and Eramin 5, in the suspect's system. This was not the first accident involving the driver; he had previously tested positive for drugs in an accident that resulted in injuries to other road users under Section 44(1A) of the Road Transport Act.
