SHAH ALAM: A group of foreign nationals attempting to flee a police inspection met with an accident when the car they were travelling in skidded in Section 18 here this morning.
Shah Alam district police chief ACP Ramsay Embol said police received information at 9.49 am from officers on the ground who were pursuing a sedan at Dataran Otomobil, Section 15 heading towards the Section 15 roundabout.
He said the incident began when the driver refused to stop the vehicle after being instructed by police officers and instead sped off, driving recklessly and endangering other road users.
