Immigration lorry driver arrives in court over fatal Jalan Sultan Ismail crash [WATCH]

KUALA LUMPUR: The Immigration Department lorry driver responsible for a fatal crash on Jalan Sultan Ismail made his appearance in court today, escorted by a large police presence. The 43-year-old suspect entered the courtroom at noon, accompanied by several law enforcement officials. He is anticipated to face charges under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987, following the accident that resulted in the deaths of three family members.

The suspect was initially held to aid investigations after the incident at the Jalan Sultan Ismail intersection early Wednesday morning. The crash took place when the Immigration Department lorry, reportedly breaching a red light, collided with a Proton Saga, which then struck four pedestrians and an Inokom Matrix. Three individuals lost their lives in the incident, while another family member received medical attention at Kuala Lumpur Hospital.
