  "summary": "Three family members were killed and another injured when a Malaysian Immigration Department truck collided with an unladen truck at the Maju Junction traffic light intersection in Kuala Lumpur early on August 19. The incident occurred around 1am when the Isuzu 'Black Maria' truck, driven by a 43-year-old local man, entered the intersection against a red light while its beacon lights and siren were activated. A Proton Saga driven by a 50-year-old local man, travelling straight through a green light, collided with the truck, causing it to lose control and strike four pedestrians, all members of the same family, as well as an Inokom Matrix driven by a 38-year-old local man. The three pedestrians who died at the scene were a 53-year-old man, his two daughters aged 25 and 12, and his 55-year-old wife sustained injuries and is currently receiving treatment at Kuala Lumpur Hospital. The drivers of the JIM truck and the Proton Saga were detained for the investigation, and breathalyser and urine tests found them negative for alcohol and drugs. Police are conducting further investigations, including obtaining CCTV footage and identifying independent witnesses.",
