Cops locate driver after 6-vehicle crash that killed girl

A six-vehicle crash in Kuala Lumpur's Jalan Kuching area claimed the life of a five-year-old girl and injured two others on February 12th. Police have since identified the driver of the BYD Seal responsible for the collision. The BYD driver had rear-ended a motorcycle and a Perodua Bezza in slow-moving traffic at 3:44 PM on the day of the incident. As a result of this initial crash, the Perodua Bezza collided with an additional three vehicles before the BYD driver fled the scene.

The five-year-old girl, who was the daughter of the Perodua Bezza's driver and sat in the rear passenger seat, sustained severe head injuries and succumbed to her injuries upon arrival at the scene. The driver of the BYD suffered a gunshot wound to the right hand, while the 33-year-old motorcyclist sustained head injuries. Both individuals were treated at Hospital Kuala Lumpur.

Zamzuri Isa, the Kuala Lumpur traffic police chief, confirmed that the 24-year-old BYD driver was located at a private hospital in Damansara, where he is currently undergoing treatment. He remains under the supervision of investigating officers, and authorities continue to probe the incident under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act, which deals with causing death by reckless driving.
