  "account": "KOTA BARU: A man died after his four-wheel-drive (4WD) vehicle skidded and crashed into a 100-meter deep ravine near Jalan Ladang Pos Pulat in Gua Musang. The car and its victim were discovered two days after the tragic incident. Police were notified at 4:30pm yesterday of the Toyota Hilux being found at the bottom of the ravine, where the victim was found unconscious and later pronounced dead. Preliminary investigations suggest the accident likely occurred on Sunday.\n\nThe victim's wife reported that his last known location was detected on Sunday afternoon near the incident site. On October 6, the victim's colleague searched for him at the location of the last live location and found his Toyota Hilux at the base of the ravine. Despite no witnesses to the accident, the vehicle went unnoticed by the public until it was found by his colleague.\n\nThe body was retrieved from the scene with help from the Malaysian Fire and Rescue Department and later sent to Gua Musang Hospital's Forensic Unit for a post-mortem examination. The case will be investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for reckless or dangerous driving resulting in death. Authorities are still conducting further investigations to determine the exact cause of the accident and the events leading up to it.",
