4 killed in 2 separate road accidents in KL, Johor

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 1 — Four individuals lost their lives in two separate road accidents involving four vehicles in Kuala Lumpur and Kulai, Johor. The incidents, both attributed to cars veering into oncoming lanes, transpired early on Nov 1.

In the first accident, near Kilometer 23 of the Middle Ring Road 2 (MRR2), near Bukit Antarabangsa, a Perodua Myvi and a Toyota Vellfire collided. The Myvi, en route from Taman Melawati towards Cheras, allegedly lost control and skidded into the opposite lane, resulting in the deaths of two men. The Myvi driver sustained serious head injuries and passed away at the scene, while the Vellfire driver and a passenger were injured and taken to Ampang Hospital.

The Vellfire driver succumbed to his injuries in hospital, while the passenger remains hospitalized. The case is under investigation under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987, and witnesses are urged to come forward to aid the investigation.

The second accident occurred in Kulai, involving a Toyota Vios and a Mazda at Jalan Senai-Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Senai. The Mazda, driven by a 30-year-old woman accompanied by her 69-year-old mother, reportedly skidded into the opposite lane, leading to the fatal injuries of the Mazda driver and her mother. The Mazda driver sustained serious injuries and was pronounced dead at Temenggong Seri Maharaja Tun Ibrahim Hospital, while his mother passed away at Sultanah Aminah Hospital.

The male driver of the Toyota Vios, however, escaped with minor injuries. The investigation into the cause of the accident is ongoing under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987. The public is encouraged to provide any information regarding the incident to assist the police by contacting the Kulai district police headquarters Traffic Division or Inspector Ahmad Safuan Abu Naim at 017-7573507.
