KUALA LUMPUR: Dashboard camera video footage of a hatchback vehicle ploughing into a police patrol car before speeding off has gone viral on social media.

The video shows the police car driving on the left lane with another car on the right along the two-lane road.

A speeding Volkswagen Polo car was seen overtaking the vehicle with the camera on the left lane, and was unable to stop in time to avoid a collision.

It ploughed straight into the police car, which spun out of control and rammed into the road barrier.

The speeding vehicle then fled from the scene.

Kuala Lumpur traffic police investigation and traffic law officer Deputy Superintendent S. Markandan said the incident occurred at around 8.55am Monday.

"Two policemen were on patrol along Jalan Pudu heading towards the city when the Volkswagen Polo was reported to have lost control and rammed into it.

"The collision caused the police car to spin before it hit the barrier," he said, adding that both policemen in the vehicle suffered minor injuries.

He said the 21-year-old college student who was driving the Volkswagen drove off but lodged a police report later that day.

DSP Markandan said the case was being investigated as driving while under the influence of intoxicating liquor or drugs. - The Star

Surveillance video has captured the terrifying moment a BMW driving at "lightning speed" crashed into a Mazda sedan last Saturday in Nanjing, smashing the vehicle into pieces. 

Both passengers in the Mazda were thrown out of the car and pronounced dead at the scene. 

According to ET Today, the BMW was going at least 150 kilometers per hour when it ran a stop light and struck the oncoming Mazda at the intersection of Shiyang Road and Youyihe Road in Qinhuai District. 

Pieces of the completely destroyed Mazda flew for several meters, hitting a public bus and a taxi."I just felt a gush of wind and a strong vibration at the left-hand side of my car," a witness surnamed Zhao said. "Then I heard a loud noise and saw a car thrown into the air."

The 35-year-old BMW driver, who abandoned his car immediately after the accident, was arrested some 300 to 400 meters away from the scene, his face covered in blood.

After the video and photos went viral online, rumors that the BMW owner was driving under the influence began to circulate, as white powder was found on his car. 

Some even suspected that the arrested man was merely a scapegoat.

Police confirmed that the driver tested negative for drugs and alcohol and released DNA tests showing that the suspect's blood type was identical to samples found in the BMW.

The arrested man has been detained as police investigate the situation. - Shanghaiist
