“The incident happened at the 14km and the case is currently under police investigation,” it said.
“Together let us pray for our Klang City International Marathon2017 Pacer, Evelyn Ang, hope she will safely go through the critical moment with a speedy recovery. Will do our best to assist in this incident. We are in touch with the authorities.”
The post also said that police had caught the driver who mowed into the runners.
A Facebook post identified the other injured pacer as Ahmad Hadafi. The name of the third person injured in the incident has not been released.
Another post on Facebook claimed that there were not enough safety cones and marshalls during the marathon.
The Star Online reported North Klang OCPD Asst Comm Mazelan Paijan had confirmed the accident.
“It occurred at around 4.30am around Jalan Kapar Batu 2. The car, which was from Klang heading to Kapar, had knocked the runners from behind,” he was quoted as saying.
He said the remaining two runners had injuries to the head and hands although their injuries were not as severe as Ang’s.
“The driver was not found to be drunk. The urine test tested negative and a blood test will be conducted,” Mazelan added.
