  "summary": "A fatal car crash in Kota Bharu has claimed the lives of two cyclists, with police reporting that the driver allegedly failed to notice them before crashing into them from behind. The victims, Zamrie Rismawadi Mahmet, 49, and Nik Zaki Yamani Nik Abdul Aziz, 49, were pronounced dead at the scene after sustaining severe head and bodily injuries. The incident occurred on the Lebuh Raya Rakyat, near Kilometer 16.5, around 9am on Friday. According to police, the two victims were riding along the left lane when they were struck by a Perodua Kelisa travelling in the same direction. The driver, a 22-year-old Perodua Kelisa driver, allegedly did not see or notice the cyclists in time to avoid them. Both cyclists were reportedly undergoing cycling training in preparation for a convoy to Thailand next week. The case is being investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.",
