Police in Malaysia have arrested a 26-year-old driver following a terrifying three-vehicle crash on the New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE) that was captured on camera and widely shared online.
The incident happened around 11pm on 9 May 2026 near kilometre 28 of the highway heading towards the Duta toll plaza. According to reports from Free Malaysia Today, the crash involved a Proton Inspira, a Proton Wira and a Toyota Hilux.
Authorities said the Proton Inspira initially lost control, skidded and came to a stop in the fast lane of the highway. Seconds later, disaster struck when another vehicle slammed into it. Before the situation could stabilise, a third vehicle crashed into the wreckage moments afterward.

The impact from the repeated collisions caused all three vehicles to veer into the road barrier on the left side of the highway. Images and videos from the scene showed heavily damaged cars scattered across the roadway.

Despite the terrifying nature of the crash shared by the account @themalaymail, officials confirmed that no injuries were reported among the drivers involved. Many online viewers described the survival of everyone involved as incredibly lucky considering the intensity of the accident.
Kuala Lumpur Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department chief ACP Mohd Zamzuri Mohd Isa confirmed that the driver of the Proton Inspira had been arrested as investigations continue into the cause of the collision. Crashes involving stationary vehicles on highways frequently become more severe because other motorists have little time to avoid impact.
