GiatMARA instructor killed, 2 children injured in Alza-lorry crash in Sabah

A tragic incident occurred in Sabah when a GiatMARA instructor, Norasida Mayur, 42, was killed and her two teenage children were injured in a collision involving a Perodua Alza car and a lorry. The crash happened along Jalan Kota Belud-Tuaran near Taman Nikmat at 11:05am. The lorry, driven by a 42-year-old man, was heading from Kota Belud towards Tuaran, while the victim's car, carrying her three children aged between 15 and 18, was traveling in the opposite direction.

The Perodua Alza entered the oncoming lane, resulting in a collision that caused the car to spin and face towards Tuaran. The lorry came to a stop near a roadside eatery. The victim's body was sent to the Kota Belud Hospital forensic unit for further action, while her two children, aged 15 and 18, suffered injuries and were taken to the hospital for treatment.

The 17-year-old child escaped without injury. The lorry driver was also uninjured and has been detained for investigation. The case is being investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act for causing death by reckless or dangerous driving. Witnesses or anyone with information on the incident are urged to contact the Kota Belud district police headquarters Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Division.
