KUALA PILAH, Nov 9 – A 39-year-old male driver previously facing charges for driving under the influence (DUI) of drugs was re-arrested on Saturday, November 7, 2026, after causing another multi-vehicle crash along Jalan Seremban-Kuala Pilah near Tanjong Ipoh.
According to a statement issued by Kuala Pilah District Police Chief Supt Muhamad Mustafah Hussin on Monday, November 9, 2026, the incident occurred at approximately 2:45 PM.
Initial investigations revealed that the suspect’s Toyota Vios was traveling from Seremban toward Bahau when it rear-ended a Nissan Grand Livina multi-purpose vehicle (MPV). The force of the impact propelled the MPV forward, causing it to crash into a Proton Wira.

Police records confirmed that the suspect was previously charged under Section 44(1A) of the Road Transport Act 1987 after causing a five-vehicle collision while driving high on drugs, which resulted in injuries to other road users.
