IPOH – Two female motorcyclists who were caught on video performing dangerous stunts, including the “Superman” stunt, while riding motorcycles on the North-South Expressway were arrested by the police last night.
Muallim district police chief Mohd Hasni Mohd Nasir said that the two suspects surrendered to the Mualim district police HQ’s traffic investigation and enforcement division at 9.10 pm.
He said that they were successfully tracked down by police after a 45-second video, showing the two motorcyclists doing dangerous stunts, went viral on social media yesterday.
“Preliminary investigations found that their actions were recorded at KM375.9 northbound on Sunday and that the riders, aged 18 and 21, were riding from Kuala Lumpur to Ipoh,” he said in a statement today.
He said that, when they arrived at the Behrang rest-and-service area, the two suspects did a “Superman” act, where they lifted their legs off the foot-rests to lie belly down on their motorcycles and extended their legs straight out behind to give off the illusion that they were flying, as they were zig-zagging between moving vehicles.
Hasni said that further checks found that both suspects were from Pulau Indah in Selangor, with one working as an e-commerce platform operator and the other working as a babysitter. Both had no valid licence and no criminal record.
“They were issued summonses for not having a valid licence, and the case is being investigated under Section 42(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987,” he said. – Bernama, July 14, 2023
