The incident involved a number of vehicles including an Avanza and a black Myvi, allegedly driven by a man under the influence of drugs.

What caught the eye of netizens isn’t the damage to the vehicles, but the sight of a makeshift bong or top puff held by a distraught driver in the video.

The man looks to be holding a bong made out of a juice bottle, trying to comprehend the situation while also answering questions hurled at him by fellow motorists.

The sight of the bong angered many on social media with some even questioning the efforts of legalising medicinal marijuana in Malaysia.
