Four killed in helicopter crash near Montreal

Four individuals lost their lives in a catastrophic chain-reaction crash near Sepanggar, Malaysia. The tragedy unfolded when the Perodua Viva they were riding in collided with a stationary lorry. The impact triggered a domino effect, causing three other parked vehicles to become involved in the collision. The incident occurred around 2:10am at Jalan Sepanggar, close to Taman Jaya Diri, Sepanggar.

The victims, identified as Ryanniel Robin, 23; Nicholas Thomas, 24; Axelord Nigel Alexander, 21, and one unidentified individual, were all pronounced dead at the scene. Firefighters arrived at the scene at 2:37am and utilized specialized equipment to extract the victims from the Perodua Viva. They were subsequently handed over to the police for further investigation.

All four victims succumbed to their injuries, and their bodies were transported to Queen Elizabeth Hospital for post-mortem examination. The Kota Kinabalu Fire and Rescue Station, along with the Kota Kinabalu Civil Defence Force, played a crucial role in the rescue and investigation efforts.
