A shocking incident unfolded in Malaysia's capital Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday, leaving a father and his two daughters dead after a collision between an Immigration Department truck and a car. The victims, a 53-year-old man and his two daughters aged 25 and 12, were struck at a road junction near Jalan Sultan Ismail around 1am. The man's 55-year-old wife was also injured and rushed to the Kuala Lumpur Hospital for treatment.
The incident occurred as the Immigration Department truck, driven by a 43-year-old man, entered the junction while the traffic light was red, despite its beacon lights and siren being activated. Simultaneously, a car driven by a 50-year-old man proceeded through the junction on a green light. The collision caused the truck to veer towards and strike the pedestrians, as well as another car that had stopped at the crossroads.
The truck driver and the 50-year-old motorist were detained by the police for further investigation. Breathalyser and urine tests on both men returned negative results. Police are currently examining the scene, reviewing closed-circuit television footage, and seeking independent witnesses. The vehicles involved have been sent for inspection.
