  "summary": "A 46-year-old lorry driver has been arrested in Port Dickson after a fatal head-on crash that killed a 35-year-old father and left his wife and young daughter injured. The incident occurred on Jalan Lukut-Sepang at approximately 6:50pm yesterday, when the lorry veered into the opposite lane and struck a Perodua Myvi carrying the family of three. The driver was found to be over the legal alcohol limit during a breathalyser test, though preliminary urine tests had returned negative results. The car driver tragically died at the scene, while his wife and daughter sustained injuries and were rushed to Port Dickson Hospital. The suspect is being investigated under Section 44(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for driving under the influence of alcohol resulting in death, and a remand application is being submitted.",
