KUALA LUMPUR, July 8 (Bernama) -- Police are tracking down a married couple who fled after the vehicle driven by one of them plunged into the Langat River in Hulu Langat earlier today.
Kajang District Police chief ACP Naazron Abdul Yusof said the police received a report at 9.30 am from a member of the public that a car had fallen into the river at Jalan Kuari Sungai Long.
According to Naazron, eyewitnesses living near the area reported hearing a loud noise from the direction of the river around 9 am and saw a man and a woman exiting the vehicle before fleeing the scene.
“Further inspection by police, with the assistance of the Fire and Rescue Department, confirmed that no individuals were inside the vehicle when it was recovered, and no casualties were reported,” he said in a statement today.
