Man killed, family injured in Port Dickson crash involving lorry driver allegedly over alcohol limit

Port Dickson, October 3 - A fatal collision occurred at KM13.5 of Jalan Lukut-Sepang when a Perodua Myvi, carrying a man and his wife and daughter, crashed into a lorry driven by a man suspected of being over the alcohol limit. The 35-year-old car driver perished at the scene due to severe injuries sustained in the incident that took place at 6:50 pm.

His 32-year-old wife and their five-year-old daughter were also injured in the collision. Police Chief Supt Ahmad Afiq Mohd Adnan disclosed that the preliminary investigation revealed the lorry driver, a 46-year-old man, lost control of the vehicle before crossing into the opposite lane, causing the accident. The lorry driver was not injured, but his breathalyser test indicated an alcohol level exceeding the permitted limit, although a urine test was negative.

Both victims were transported to Port Dickson Hospital for treatment. The lorry driver has been apprehended, and the case is currently under investigation under Section 44(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.
