Ambulance driver in fatal Jasin crash claims trial to reckless driving
The crash on Aug 26 resulted in the death of 18-year-old motorcyclist Amirul Asyraaf Azizan.
An ambulance driver, Noorikhmal Baharuddin, appeared in court today, pleading not guilty to reckless driving charges related to the death of an 18-year-old motorcyclist in Jasin, Melaka. The incident occurred at the Kampung Ayer Merbau traffic light junction around 9:15am on August 26. According to the prosecution, Noorikhmal is charged under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987, which carries a sentence of up to five years' imprisonment, a fine ranging from RM20,000 to RM50,000, and a potential disqualification from holding a driving license for up to five years.
The prosecution requested a RM8,000 bail with one surety, while the defense sought a lower amount, citing the defendant's cooperation with the investigation. Magistrate Mazana Sinin set the bail at RM3,000 and allowed the suspension of Noorikhmal's driving license. The case is set to be heard again on September 17 for the submission of documents.
