Bera: A National Anti-Drugs Agency (AADK) personnel was killed after the car he was driving was involved in a collision with a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) driven by a man suspected of being under the influence of drugs at KM18 of Jalan Temerloh-Bahau near Bera today.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Bera police chief Supt Zulkiflee Nazir reported that Mohamed Sharif Mohamed Ali, 37, who was serving in Bera, died at the scene of the collision, which occurred at about 10 am. Preliminary investigations indicated that Mohamed Sharif was traveling from Triang towards Temerloh when the accident happened. The MPV, driven by a 29-year-old man with a 25-year-old passenger, was heading from Kuala Lumpur towards Triang.

"The MPV driver is believed to have lost control of his vehicle, which veered onto the opposite lane before colliding with the car driven by Mohamed Sharif, causing his car to skid onto the roadside shoulder," Supt Zulkiflee said in a statement.

He also noted that the MPV driver and passenger suffered minor injuries to their legs. The driver, who tested positive for Erimin 5, has been detained, and the case is being investigated under Section 44 of the Road Transport Act 1987.
