Probe papers on Black Maria crash to be referred to AGC tomorrow

The investigation into the fatal crash involving an immigration department Black Maria truck in Kuala Lumpur will be referred to the Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) tomorrow, officials have announced. The crash, which occurred at Maju Junction on Jalan Sultan Ismail around 1am yesterday, resulted in three deaths and left the wife of one victim in critical condition.

The Black Maria, driven by a 43-year-old immigration officer, was en route to Chow Kit area for an operation to detain undocumented migrants when it collided with a car. The driver of the car failed to avoid the truck, causing it to lose control and crash into a family on holiday from Kampar, Perak. A one-day remand order has been obtained for both the Black Maria driver and the car driver.

The prosecution discussed the referral of the investigation papers to the AGC at 2.45pm today, with the state prosecution director suggesting the AGC head of the general crime and public order unit be involved in the consideration of any charges.
