Female prison warden killed in crash in Melaka
MELAKA: A female prison warden was killed after her motorcycle was crushed by a cement lorry at a traffic light junction along the Lebuh Sungai Udang–Paya Rumput–Ayer Keroh Highway yesterday evening. The victim, Sergeant Amal Nurlidar Ghazali, 42, was pinned beneath the heavy vehicle and died at the scene at 5.50pm. Melaka Tengah district police chief Assistant Commissioner Christopher Patit said the victim was riding a Yamaha Ego Solariz motorcycle and was at the traffic light when the accident occurred. The 49-year-old driver of the cement lorry, who was travelling in the same direction, reportedly lost control of the vehicle and swerved to avoid other vehicles, veering onto the road shoulder before striking and crushing the victim. "As a result of the collision, the victim's legs were crushed and she sustained serious injuries," he said today. Christopher added that the accident was believed to have been caused by brake failure and that the incident was recorded on a vehicle's dashboard camera. The driver tested negative for drugs and is expected to be remanded at the Ayer Keroh magistrates' court this morning. The cement lorry has been seized and will be sent to the Computerised Vehicle Inspection Centre (Puspakom) for mechanical inspection.

Trader charged with dangerous driving resulting in motorcyclist's death
The magistrates' court in Seremban allowed P Mohan bail of RM7,000 with one surety. (Bernama pic) SEREMBAN : A trader pleaded not guilty in the magistrates' court here today to a charge of dangerous driving resulting in the death of a motorcyclist in a road crash at Matahari Heights early this month. P Mohan, 45, made the plea before magistrate Nurul Farha Sulaiman. He was charged with driving a van in a dangerous manner and causing the death of Muhammad Annas Iskandar Mohd Khairi, 21, at the traffic lights at Persiaran Senawang 1, Matahari Heights, here at 11.59pm on May 3. The charge, under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987, provides for imprisonment of up to 10 years and a maximum fine of RM50,000, as well as disqualification from holding or obtaining a driving licence for not less than five years, upon conviction. The court allowed him bail of RM7,000 with one surety and ordered the suspension of his driving licence pending disposal of the case. The court also set July 3 for mention for the submission of documents, including reports from the Computerised Vehicle Inspection Centre, as well as the forensic and chemist reports. Lawyer Rajindar Singh, representing Mohan, had sought a lower bail, saying his client, who earned between RM3,000 and RM3,500 a month, was self-employed. He said Mohan's wife sold flowers and that the couple was supporting two children aged 21 and 22 who were still studying. Deputy public prosecutor Nadia Ezzati Mohd Zainal appeared for the prosecution.
