A 57-year-old teacher is set to be charged in Kota Bharu Magistrates’ Court over a fatal crash that occurred outside SMK Tanjong Mas on April 12, according to prosecutors. The incident resulted in the death of a Form One student and severe injuries to another student. The teacher is anticipated to face two charges under Sections 304A and 336 of the Penal Code - one for causing death and the other for causing injury.
Kelantan police chief Datuk Mohd Yusoff Mamat confirmed the impending prosecution, stating that the teacher will be charged with these two provisions of the Penal Code. The accident took place around 1:50pm when the car driven by the teacher collided with two Form One girls outside the school surau. Investigations suggested that the driver inadvertently pressed the accelerator, causing the vehicle to lose control and strike the students.
One girl succumbed to her injuries at the scene due to severe head trauma, while the other sustained serious injuries and was hospitalized for treatment.
