  "account": "In a tragic incident in Kuala Lumpur, a woman named Norhayati Razali, 55, survived a fatal crash involving an Immigration Department truck on Jalan Sultan Ismail. Her husband, Shaik Mohd Firdaus Shaikh Yahya, also died in the accident. Norhayati's daughter, Udik, reported that her mother continues to ask about her late husband, unaware that he had passed away in the crash. Udik's daughter, Siti Darwisyah, 12, and her older sister, Siti Nor Sazlin, 25, were also killed in the collision. A video shared by Udik shows her mother visiting Norhayati at Kuala Lumpur Hospital, where she is recovering from head, hand, and leg injuries. The teenager expressed distress over Norhayati's repeated questions about her husband's absence from her hospital bedside. The accident occurred at 1am on Wednesday when Shaik's family was hit by an out-of-control Immigration truck while walking near the Maju Junction traffic light intersection. The driver of the truck, Mohd Akbar Zainol, was charged with five offenses the following day, including causing the deaths of Shaik and the two other victims, and recklessly injuring Norhayati. He pleaded not guilty to all charges and was released on bail of RM60,000.",
