Jalan Kuching fatal crash: BYD driver posts RM36,000 bail
KUALA LUMPUR: The 24-year-old driver of a BYD Seal involved in a six-vehicle crash along Jalan Kuching that killed a 5-year-old girl has been released on bail after RM36,000 was paid.
Raeven Goh, a 24-year-old bank assistant sales manager, appeared in a Malaysian magistrates court today, pleading not guilty to charges of causing the death of a five-year-old girl in a multi-vehicle accident in Jalan Kuching, Kuala Lumpur last Saturday. Goh is accused of recklessly driving an electric vehicle at high speed towards Segambut on October 10, resulting in the death of Asiah Ahmad Syahir.
He also pleaded not guilty to charges of reckless and dangerous driving, as well as failing to stop his vehicle after the accident. If found guilty, Goh could face up to 10 years imprisonment, a fine between RM5,000 and RM20,000, and a driving licence suspension for at least three years. The court fixed Goh's bail at RM36,000 with one surety for each charge and ordered him to surrender his passport while his driving licence was suspended pending the case resolution. The court scheduled the case for management on November 19.
