Mercedes driver, 19, charged over Johor crash that killed 5 including brother & girl, 10, pleads not guilty
The dead included Goh's 22-year-old older brother and a family of four, including a 10-year-old girl.
A 19-year-old Mercedes-Benz driver, Goh Yin Zun, has pleaded not guilty to reckless and dangerous driving charges following a car crash that killed five people in Johor, Malaysia. According to prosecutors, the incident occurred on June 1 when Goh, allegedly racing his older brother at high speeds on KM27 of Jalan Renggam-Simpang Renggam, lost control of his vehicle.
His 22-year-old brother, who was 22 at the time of the crash, lost control of his BMW and collided with several oncoming vehicles, resulting in the deaths of five individuals, including Goh's brother and a family consisting of four members, one of whom was a 10-year-old girl.
During the legal proceedings, Goh's defense counsel argued that the youth deserved a reduced bail amount, citing his status as a first-time offender and his pursuit of a business studies diploma in Singapore. The magistrate set Goh's bail at RM10,000 with one surety and ordered him to report to a police station once a month. The case is set to be revisited in Malaysian courts on November 20, along with document submissions.
