2 women die in car fire after collision with lorry in Yong Peng
They were trapped in the car, which was 80% destroyed by fire by the time firemen arrived.
Two women in their early twenties perished in a car crash that resulted in their vehicle being engulfed in flames after colliding with a lorry in Yong Peng, Malaysia. The tragic incident occurred at Batu 1, Jalan Yong Peng-Ayer Hitam, around 4:21pm this afternoon. The victims, Siti Nur Batrisya Khalid, the driver of a Perodua Myvi, and her front seat passenger, Siti Nurmaisarah Abd Jalil, were both found severely burned and trapped in their respective seats when firefighters arrived at the scene a mere four minutes later.
Despite the efforts of 16 personnel from Ayer Hitam and Yong Peng fire and rescue stations, the women could not be saved and were pronounced dead at the scene by medical officers. Both victims' bodies were so severely charred that they could not be identified. Fortunately, the three men in their thirties who were passengers in the Isuzu lorry were uninjured.
The entire rescue operation, which involved a significant team effort, concluded at 6:38pm, after which the bodies were handed over to the police for further investigation.
