A tanker driver has been remanded for four days following a fatal crash that killed a mother and her 12-year-old son near Kampung Lebak. The incident occurred when the tanker, carrying 32,000 litres of diesel, skidded and overturned, hitting a car travelling from Jerantut to Seremban. The victims, Nur Fatima Abdullah, 39, and her son, Muhamad Fattah Aisy Nuafal Saifulnizam, were burnt to death in the collision.
The tanker driver only sustained minor injuries and was investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for careless driving and causing a fatal accident. Urine screening tests confirmed no drug involvement. DNA test results are pending before the burial can take place, and the victims' relatives have yet to confirm their identities.
