  "account": "In an incident that occurred near Jabor plantation, three individuals sustained minor injuries after a car collided with an elephant. The accident took place at KM160 of Jalan Jerangau-Jabor, near Kemaman, Malaysia. At approximately 7:58 PM, a Perodua Ativa driven by Amirul Afiq Aazmi, accompanied by his wife Farhain Jolius, was traveling from Jerangau towards Jabor. As they approached the side of the road, an elephant began crossing the highway. Due to the animal's proximity, Amirul was unable to bring the vehicle to a stop and collided with the elephant. Following the impact, a Perodua Myvi driven by Wan Muhammad Faiz Fakhrullah, which was following the Ativa, crashed into the rear of the vehicle. All three individuals involved in the collision sustained minor injuries and were treated at the green zone of Kemaman Hospital. The police have obtained dashcam footage of the incident to assist their investigations under Rule 10 of the Road Traffic Rules 1980.",
