Immigration truck crash: Family were on KL holiday

KUALA LUMPUR: Three victims, including a 12-year-old girl, died in a crash involving an Immigration Department truck on Jalan Sultan Ismail, the family likely being in the city for a holiday vacation. Traffic officials have yet to determine the family's arrival time, duration of stay, or their accommodation in the capital. The sole survivor is currently receiving medical attention at Kuala Lumpur Hospital.

The crash occurred at 1 am, with the Immigration truck reportedly running a red light, colliding with a car and pedestrians. The truck was en route from the Kuala Lumpur Immigration office to Chow Kit to retrieve detainees after an anti-smuggling operation, and was not transporting detainees at the time of the accident.
