  "account": "In the early hours of the morning in Kuala Terengganu, a mentally disabled woman named Ainun Wahab, aged 39, tragically lost her life after lying down in the middle of a busy road. According to Kuala Terengganu police chief Azli Noor, the incident took place around 1:15am. The victim was confirmed dead at the scene, as reported by Harian Metro.\n\nPreliminary investigations revealed that a 28-year-old man was driving his Proton Waja from Gong Badak towards Kuala Berang. It appears that the driver failed to avoid the victim, who was lying in the road, resulting in her being fatally run over. Despite the severe accident, the driver was unharmed and the car sustained no damage. Azli further stated that the victim had suffered several injuries before meeting her demise at the scene.\n\nThe case has been investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act, which deals with causing death by reckless driving.",
