3 children orphaned after parents killed in car crash [WATCH]

PEKAN: Three children were left orphaned after their parents were killed in an accident at Batu 8, Lepar, near here yesterday. Jamal Azizul Samat, 44, and his wife Lizawati Abdullah, 41, from Felda Chini Timur 1, died at the scene of the crash, which occurred at 10pm. Their three children - two sons and a daughter, aged between six and 17 - who were also travelling in the same car, suffered injuries. Pekan police chief Superintendent Mohd Zaidi Mat Zin said the accident involved Jamal Azizul's Proton Wira, which was heading from Kuantan to Segamat, and a Mitsubishi Fuso lorry travelling in the opposite direction. "Initial investigations revealed that Jamal Azizul lost control of his car while attempting to overtake another vehicle, causing it to veer into the opposite lane and collide with the oncoming lorry. "Both Jamal Azizul and his wife were killed instantly. The 31-year-old lorry driver escaped unhurt, but his two assistants sustained minor injuries," he said in a statement today. Zaidi said that the couple's three children, along with the lorry assistants, aged 24 and 37, were taken to the Tengku Ampuan Afzan Hospital in Kuantan for treatment. He said a post-mortem is scheduled to be conducted at the Pekan Hospital forensic unit at 9am today.
