A 21-year-old motorcyclist has been arrested after allegedly riding through a road closure and crashing into two Kuala Lumpur Standard Chartered Marathon (KLSCM) 2026 participants on Jalan Munshi Abdullah at around 6.15 am today. Kuala Lumpur Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department (JSPT) chief ACP Mohd Zamzuri Mohd Isa said the rider, who was carrying a 19-year-old pillion passenger, first passed through a road closure marked by traffic cones.
Police personnel manning the closure ordered him to stop, but he allegedly fled, riding against the flow of traffic before crashing into two runners. A 50-year-old woman suffered neck injuries and was taken to Prince Court Medical Centre, while a 41-year-old man sustained injuries to his right knee and hand.
