Police analysing CCTV, dashcam footage
KUALA LUMPUR: Police are analysing dashcam and closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera footage in their investigation into an accident involving an Immigration Department lorry that killed a father and his two daughters in Jalan Sultan Ismail early yesterday.
The police are currently analyzing dashcam and closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera footage in connection with an accident that resulted in the deaths of a father and his two daughters in Kuala Lumpur. The Immigration Department lorry involved in the accident was equipped with a dashcam, and the CCTV footage from the vicinity of the Maju Junction intersection is expected to assist investigators in establishing the sequence of events leading to the crash.
The Immigration director-general, Datuk Zakaria Shaaban, stated that the truck was relatively new and equipped with a dashcam, which has been handed over to the police to aid in their investigations. The internal investigation will determine if the driver followed the guidelines provided by the department. Preliminary investigations found that the driver was the only occupant of the lorry during the accident and was heading from the Kuala Lumpur Immigration office to Chow Kit to pick up detainees following an operation against undocumented migrants.
The lorry entered the intersection while the traffic light in its direction was red, while a Proton Saga driven by a 50-year-old man was traveling through the intersection on a green light. The Proton Saga collided with the Immigration lorry, causing the lorry to veer towards the four family members standing in the pedestrian area waiting to cross the road. The lorry struck an Inokom Matrix and four family members, resulting in their deaths.
