  "account": "In the pre-dawn hours of yesterday, a seemingly empty Immigration Department lorry called the 'Black Maria', lacking cargo, drifted out of control and struck four pedestrians at Jalan Sultan Ismail, following a collision with a car. The victims identified as Shaik Mohd Firdaus Shaikh Yahya, 53, accompanied by his two daughters, Siti Nor Sazlin, 25, and Siti Darwisyah Auni, 12. JSPT Kuala Lumpur chief Zamzuri Isa stated that in addition to the three fatalities at the scene, another victim - the 55-year-old wife of Shaik Mohd Firdaus - remains in intensive care at Hospital Kuala Lumpur. Two individuals, the lorry driver and the Proton Saga driver, aged 43 and 50 respectively, were also involved in the accident and are undergoing further investigation. Meanwhile, Zaid Darfis, the victim's nephew, recounted that his aunt had arrived in Kuala Lumpur to visit his grandmother in Semenyih, Selangor. \"I contacted my grandmother to inform her family that she had arrived in Kuala Lumpur. I only learned of this incident after calling her around 7:30 a.m. yesterday,\" Zaid told Bernama. Forensic Institute National Hospital (IPFN) findings at Hospital Kuala Lumpur revealed that the deceased family members and the soldier were present. Additionally, the head of the Immigration Department in Kuala Lumpur, Hamsha Injau, was also present at the hospital. Jazah of the three victims will be transported to Masjid Jamiul Ehsan, Jalan Pahang, for burial and funeral arrangements before being laid to rest at Tanah Perkuburan Islam, Kampung Air Hitam Labu, Kampar, Perak. The collision occurred around 1 a.m. when the lorry, believed to be traveling from the Kuala Lumpur Immigration Office towards Chow Kit for the processing of unauthorized migrants, entered the intersection while the traffic light was red, equipped with a beacon and siren. Simultaneously, a Proton Saga, traveling straight at a green traffic light, was found to have not evaded the lorry in time, colliding with the lorry and four pedestrians, plus a Inokom Matrix car. The case is being investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.",
