  "account": "KUALA LUMPUR: Pahang police have confirmed the identities of four individuals who lost their lives in an 11-vehicle collision near Lanchang, Temerloh last night. The married couple and their four-year-old son, Muhammad Nazatul Nazmi, 32, Nur Atiqah Sofiya Mohd Kazwan, 32, and their son were traveling in a Proton S70. Additionally, a 55-year-old man, Seow Beng Wain, from Shah Alam, was killed in a Honda CR-V.\n\nAccording to Acting Pahang Police Chief Datuk Azry Akmar Ayob, the crash occurred at Km110.3 of the East Coast Expressway (Eastbound), with 11 vehicles — including a cement tanker lorry, a bus, and nine cars — involved. Preliminary investigations suggest the tanker lost control, leading to a series of collisions. An 18-year-old driver of a Honda CR-V sustained serious injuries, while his father perished at the scene alongside the Proton S70 occupants.\n\nThe tanker driver is also hospitalized, receiving treatment at Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Hospital in Temerloh. Eight other vehicle drivers and passengers, including an express bus and seven others, sustained minor injuries. Post-mortems were carried out at the Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Hospital, and the case is being investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.",
