In a separate incident on July 26, 2026, around 6:35 pm, two teenage girls aged 16 and 17 were killed in a crash on Jalan Padang Tembak in Teluk Intan [4, 5, 6].

The teenagers were pronounced dead at the scene, while the boy was injured and hospitalized [4, 5, 6]. Police tested the driver for drugs; initial urine screening was positive for benzodiazepines [4, 6]. Hilir Perak police chief Assistant Commissioner Chua Kok Lian said, "The suspect is currently being detained to assist in the investigation, as he is believed to have been driving under the influence of drugs at the time of the incident. The investigation into the crash is being conducted under Sections 44(1)(a) and 44(1A)(a) of the Road Transport Act 1987, while the drug-related investigation is being carried out under Section 12(2) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952" [4].
