  "summary": "A 26-year-old woman was killed in a tragic accident on the Machang-Tanah Merah road in Malaysia, when the vehicle she was driving was struck by a trailer that allegedly ran a red light. The crash occurred at the Kilometre 4.7 junction near the Wakaf Bata traffic-light junction, with the Volvo trailer driven by a 47-year-old local man traveling from Tanah Merah towards Machang. The Perodua Axia, driven by the victim, was heading from Padang Kelupang towards Tanah Merah at the time of the collision, which resulted in severe injuries to the driver who was pronounced dead at the scene. The trailer driver was uninjured, but was arrested under Section 30 of the Poisons Act 1952 after police found a suspected kratom water in four transparent plastic packets. The incident is currently under investigation under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for causing death by reckless or dangerous driving. Police are urging anyone with information about the crash to come forward.",
