The BYD Seal driver involved in a fatal six-vehicle crash that killed a 5-year-old girl has been brought to court to face three charges. The 24-year-old man, dressed in a green shirt and handcuffed, was escorted to the magistrate's court by traffic police after being discharged from a private hospital. He is expected to face charges under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for causing death by reckless or dangerous driving, Section 42(1) for reckless and dangerous driving, and Section 52(1) for failing to stop and report an accident.
The crash occurred on Jalan Kuching at 3.44pm on Saturday, killing the girl and injuring her father and a motorcyclist. Initial investigations found that the BYD Seal allegedly rear-ended a Perodua Bezza, which then collided with three other vehicles, resulting in the death of the girl and injuries to her father and the motorcyclist.
