Malaysian Police pursued a young couple after trying to speed off after they were spotted making out in their car. In their haste to flee, the couple hit another car and caused a five-car pile up.

Police said they spotted the couple locked in an intimate embrace in their car parked at a hypermarket in Muar town in southern Johor state.

Sensing they were about to be arrested, the couple sped out of the car park onto a main road and collided with a passing car, causing three other vehicles to crash.

The couple, both in their 20s, have been detained for reckless driving.
