KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 3 — A 21-year-old motorcyclist was arrested after allegedly riding against traffic and crashing into two participants of the Kuala Lumpur Standard Chartered Marathon (KLSCM) 2026 along Jalan Munshi Abdullah early today.
Kuala Lumpur Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department chief ACP Mohd Zamzuri Mohd Isa said the incident occurred at about 6.15am after the motorcyclist, who was carrying a 19-year-old pillion rider, allegedly passed through a road closure marked by cones.
“The rider was ordered to stop by police personnel manning the road closure, but is believed to have fled by riding against the flow of traffic before crashing into two marathon participants who were running,” he said in a press statement.
