  "account": "Two young women, both 22 years old, tragically lost their lives in a car accident that occurred due to a collision with a lorry in Yong Peng, Malaysia. The accident took place near Batu 1 on Jalan Yong Peng-Ayer Hitam.\n\nThe victims, identified as Siti Nur Batrisya Khalid and her front seat passenger Siti Nurmaisarah Abd Jalil, were both trapped inside the driver and front passenger seats of the Perodua Myvi they were driving. When firefighters arrived at the scene at 4.21pm, the car was already engulfed in flames, with approximately 80% of it reduced to ashes.\n\nFirefighters swiftly contained the fire and successfully extricated the victims using specialized equipment. Despite their valiant efforts, both women were pronounced dead at the scene by medical officers from the Health Ministry. The cause of death was found to be severe burns, rendering their bodies unrecognizable.\n\nFortunately, three men in their thirties who were passengers in the Isuzu lorry involved in the accident were not injured. A total of 16 personnel from both the Ayer Hitam and Yong Peng fire and rescue stations responded to the emergency, and their operation concluded at 6.38pm. The bodies of the deceased women were subsequently handed over to the police for further investigation and processing.",
