Police confirmed that all four suspects tested positive for illicit substances in initial urine screenings. The incident occurred early Saturday morning at a police vehicle checkpoint set up in the Malé-to-Hulhumalé lane to curb dangerous driving. According to police, a motorcycle travelling at an estimated speed exceeding 100 km/h struck the checkpoint barricade and collided directly with an officer on duty.
The officer sustained severe facial injuries in the crash and is currently receiving treatment at ADK Hospital in Malé.
Authorities stated that the police service is investigating the incident as a serious matter.
