A 25-year-old female suspect has been taken into police custody following this weekend’s Kuala Lumpur Standard Charter marathon, and a hit-and-run accident that injured two male participants.
Many eye-witnesses reported seeing the car drive through barriers at an off-ramp from the DUKE Highway along the MRR2. Some even alleged that they knew the license plate number of the vehicle in question, and posted the car information to social media.
One of the victims suffered leg injuries, while the other sustained a cracked hip bone.
Both victims were sent to Hospital Kuala Lumpur for medical treatment.
Selangor police were able to track the car down to a unit along Jalan Taman Emas in Kepong, late yesterday night, and arrested the suspected driver.
Confiscated at the time were Eramin 5 pills, colloquially known as “Happy 5,” a benzodiazepine derivative chillaxer, and not what some media refer to as an “ecstasy replacement.”

The unemployed 25-year-old was taken into Ampang Jaya police headquarters before midnight, and investigations into the matter are on-going. A subsequent urine test came back positive for methamphetamine, and bloodwork was taken to Hospital Ampang for further analysis.
While she had no previous criminal record, officers did find an outstanding traffic summons related to an accident in her name. The car the woman had been driving was a rental vehicle.
She is being investigated for dangerous driving, as well as drug offences. The car rental company have also filed a police report against the woman.
