[UPDATED] Family was in designated safe zone when hit by Immigration truck

A family of four struck by an Immigration Department truck in Kuala Lumpur had been standing in a designated safe area when the accident occurred. Police investigations and CCTV footage confirmed the family was in a pedestrian safe zone at the time of the crash. The family consisted of a 53-year-old man, his two daughters aged 25 and 12, and was struck just before 1am at the Jalan Sultan Ismail traffic light intersection, near Maju Junction.

CCTV footage showed the family standing at the road divider opposite Maju Junction when the accident took place. The Immigration Department truck, which was en route to Chow Kit to pick up detainees following an enforcement operation, had its beacon lights and siren activated but was entering the intersection while the traffic light was still red.

A Proton Saga driven by a 50-year-old man, who was traveling from Chow Kit towards Maju Junction, collided with the Immigration truck. Following the collision, the truck struck the family, resulting in three of them sustaining critical injuries and dying at the scene. The Immigration Department truck was not carrying any detainees at the time of the accident.
