Policeman to be charged for allegedly causing teen's death in Kedah crash
YAN: A policeman will be charged tomorrow with allegedly causing the death of a teenager in a road crash.
Yan district police chief Superintendent Mohd Hamizi Abdullah told NST that the policeman would be charged at the Gurun Magistrate's Court under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for causing death by dangerous driving.
Yesterday, Kedah police chief Commissioner Adzli Abu Shah said the policeman had been detained, questioned, and fully cooperated with the investigation.
He said the case was being handled with the utmost seriousness and transparency.
The victim, 16-year-old Muhammad Nur Iman Danial Mohd Roshidi, died at the intensive care unit of Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital last Thursday.
He was struck by a Perodua Axia, reportedly driven by the policeman, at an intersection in Guar Chempedak on July 28.
The teenager's parents said they are leaving it to the police to investigate the incident and hope it will be conducted with integrity.
