JASIN: A 12-year-old girl lost her life in a devastating accident on the North-South Expressway (PLUS) near Jasin this morning. The victim, identified as Iris Sofea Mohamed Siddiq Khan, was ejected from her family's vehicle after a tyre burst, leading to a fatal collision. According to Jasin police chief Supt Mohamad Rusli Mat, the incident occurred around 8 am at KM 189.1 of the southbound PLUS expressway. The Toyota Vellfire, driven by Iris Sofea's father, Mohamed Siddiq Khan, 36, suffered a front right tyre blowout, causing the driver to lose control. The vehicle then crashed into the road divider.
