Cops locate driver after 6-vehicle crash that killed girl

Two days ago, a six-vehicle crash occurred on Jalan Kuching in Kuala Lumpur, resulting in the death of a five-year-old girl and injuries to two others. The Kuala Lumpur traffic police chief, Zamzuri Isa, stated that the incident took place in slow-moving traffic at 3:44 pm. The BYD car collided with the back of a motorcycle and a Perodua Bezza; the Bezza subsequently crashed into three additional vehicles while the BYD fled the scene.

A five-year-old girl, the daughter of the Bezza's driver, was in the backseat during the crash. She sustained severe head injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. The Bezza driver, aged 30, suffered injuries to his right hand, while the motorcyclist, 33, experienced head injuries. Both individuals are currently receiving treatment at Hospital Kuala Lumpur.

The 24-year-old driver of the BYD car was located at a private hospital in Damansara, where he is being treated. He remains under monitoring by investigating officers, and further investigations are ongoing. The case is being examined under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act, which pertains to causing death by reckless driving.
