KUALA LUMPUR: Police have denied that an accident involving a car on the Federal Highway near the Subang Jaya exit was a result of irresponsible individuals pouring oil on the road.
A six-second video has gone viral on social media of the accident in which it was claimed that someone had taken to greasing the road on purpose.
Subang Jaya district police chief Asst Comm Risikin Satiman said the accident captured in the video took place on July 17 because the driver attempted to avoid a puddle of water.
"The incident happened at 1am when the driver of a Hybrid Honda Insight failed to avoid a puddle of water.
"Investigation and the statement of a witness who helped her found there was no foul play," he said when contacted.
Risikin added police have yet to identify the person who recorded the video and the source of its upload.
"Members of the public are urged to have integrity in spreading news and to be courteous in building a harmonious society.
"Unverified news do have a way of attracting people's attention and can cause concern especially for those who frequently use the roads in question," he remarked.
