BYD driver still hospitalised as probe into fatal Jalan Kuching crash involving five-year-old girl heads to DPP

The driver of a BYD Seal involved in a fatal six-vehicle collision on Jalan Kuching remains hospitalized as investigators probe the incident, according to Kuala Lumpur Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department chief Assistant Commissioner Mohd Zamzuri Mohd Isa. The driver is currently receiving treatment at a private hospital, while the inquiry continues.

Isa stated that the investigating officer is finalizing the probe and keeping track of the driver's health status. The case will be forwarded to the Deputy Public Prosecutor for further guidance once completed. The victim, five-year-old Asiah Ahmad Syahir, tragically died from severe head injuries sustained in the crash at around 3:44 pm.

Her 25-year-old uncle, Muhammad Amin Mohamad Nor Izam, has indicated that they are entrusting the entire investigation to the police. Asiah's death occurred after the Perodua Bezza carrying her family was struck from behind by the BYD Seal, causing it to spin into the right lane and collide with three additional vehicles.
