  "account": "IPOH, September 24 — A traffic officer sustained a fractured left arm and right leg after being struck by a fleeing vehicle during a roadblock inspection on Jalan Silibin, according to Ipoh District Police Chief ACP Muhammad Najib Hamzah. Near the Taman Wing Onn traffic light junction, police apprehended the 29-year-old male suspect once his car skidded. Initial investigations indicated that the driver, who had not stopped when ordered by a police officer, fled the scene. The man then entered the left lane, executed a sharp U-turn, and crashed into a traffic officer as he attempted to evade capture. The suspect fled towards Gunung Lang, driving against traffic and crashing at the Taman Wing Onn traffic light junction. The injured officer was transported to Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital for treatment. Further inquiries revealed that the driver was not licensed to operate a vehicle, the vehicle's road tax was expired, and a preliminary urine test indicated the presence of methamphetamine. The investigation remains active and falls under Section 44(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.",
