  "account": "In Alor Star, a 21-year-old cafe worker named Nur Atikah Umairah Suhaimi lost her life after a tragic accident. The incident occurred at a traffic light junction near a shopping mall on Jalan Lencong Barat. At around 5:50 pm, Nur Atikah was riding her motorcycle when she fell from it, only to be run over by a trailer just moments later. Assistant Commissioner Syed Basri Syed Ali of the Kota Setar police reported that the trailer and motorcycle were both traveling from Masjid Aman towards the shopping mall and Taman Desa Seraya. As they approached the traffic light junction, a green light prompted both vehicles to turn right. Unfortunately, the trailer on the right side of the road grazed and then struck Nur Atikah's motorcycle. The impact caused her to lose control, fall from her bike, and ultimately be crushed by the trailer. Police found that the 40-year-old lorry driver, from Langkawi, was not under the influence of drugs at the time of the accident, as revealed by a urine screening test. However, the investigation uncovered that he had five summonses, with one unpaid expired Motor Vehicle Licence and the remaining four already settled. Authorities are actively seeking witnesses to aid in their ongoing investigation. The vehicles involved have been impounded for further examination, and the case falls under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.",
