  "account": "On a fateful day in Kuala Lumpur, a reckless driver collided with three vehicles at a traffic light junction, leading to an investigation uncovering a disturbing truth. The Honda Civic driver, a 30-year-old man, was discovered to have tested positive for four different illicit substances in his system. The crash, which occurred at 3:50 PM two days prior, was captured on video and quickly disseminated, leading authorities to identify and apprehend all involved parties. The three vehicles targeted were a Proton Saga, a Nissan Almera, and another Honda Civic, each driven by individuals aged 46, 46, and 51 respectively. Despite the severity of the incident, no injuries were reported. The Honda Civic driver voluntarily visited the police station to report the accident at 10:39 PM the previous evening, where a breathalyzer test came back negative for alcohol. Nevertheless, a more extensive urine screening at Dang Wangi district police headquarters revealed the presence of benzo, methamphetamine, ketamine, and amphetamine in the driver's system. The case is currently under investigation under Section 42(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987, with further inquiries ongoing. Anyone with information is urged to contact either the Tun H S Lee Traffic Police Station at 03-2071 9999 or their nearest police station.",
