Malaysia Police Arrest Driver After 25-Kilometer Chase Ends at Toll Booth
A 41-year-old delivery driver was arrested in Malaysia after a 25-kilometer police chase that ended when he stopped at a toll booth to pay electronically.
A 41-year-old delivery driver was arrested at a toll plaza near Kuala Lumpur following a 25-kilometer police chase. The pursuit came to an end when the suspect stopped at the toll booth to pay the fee using a local electronic payment system.
According to reports, the incident began when police officers spotted the driver using a mobile phone while driving and signaled him to pull over. The suspect refused, accelerated, made a U-turn, and led authorities on a high-speed chase across major highways in the region.
During the pursuit, the driver entered the Maju Expressway connecting Kuala Lumpur to Cyberjaya, driving against oncoming traffic and colliding with several vehicles along the way. Despite the chaotic escape attempt, the chase concluded abruptly at a toll plaza where the driver attempted to pay via the Touch 'n Go electronic system. Police quickly surrounded and apprehended him at the booth.
Authorities confirmed that post-arrest drug screenings indicated substance abuse, and officers discovered methamphetamine in his possession. No immediate details were released regarding the condition of motorists whose vehicles were struck during the pursuit.
