  "account": "A mother and her 12-year-old son have been identified as the victims in a fatal accident involving a car and a diesel tanker in Temerloh. The incident occurred on Friday afternoon near Kilometre 9 of Jalan Temerloh-Triang, according to Temerloh district police chief Assistant Commissioner Mohd Nasyim Bahron. The tanker, carrying 32,000 litres of diesel, was en route from Seremban to Temerloh when it lost control, crossed into the opposite lane and collided with a Perodua Bezza being driven by the family from Jerantut to Seremban, Negeri Sembilan. The collision resulted in a fiery crash, with the tanker subsequently catching fire. Police are conducting DNA tests to confirm the identities of the deceased, whose family members initially reported them as a 37-year-old woman and her son. Ongoing investigations aim to determine the full sequence of events leading to the tragic collision.",
