IPOH, Oct 27 — The lorry driver involved in an accident with two journalists in Menglembu last Sunday claimed that he had experienced a microsleep, which led to the crash, police said.
Perak police chief Datuk Mohd Alwi Zainal Abidin said police were continuing their investigation.
He said the 35-year-old lorry driver tested negative for drugs and had no criminal record.
“The lorry driver has given a statement. Whatever the reason, it is still an offence because he hit the vehicle from behind. We will take the necessary action,” he told a press conference at the Perak police contingent headquarters here today.
