Police take statement from bus driver after crash kills three
KUALA KRAI: Police have recorded a statement from an express bus driver to assist in investigations into a crash that killed three family members here today. District police chief Superintendent Mazlan Mamat said the statement was taken from the 43-year-old driver shortly after the accident, which occurred at Km104 Jalan Kota Baru–Gua Musang. He said the driver's urine test came back negative. "The victims were a 39-year-old woman, her 18-year-old daughter, and her 24-year-old son-in-law," he said. Mazlan said the three, who were from Johor, were heading to Kota Baru for a relative's wedding when the incident occurred at about 11.30am. "Initial investigations revealed that the driver of the Perodua Myvi attempted to overtake another vehicle but failed, resulting in a head-on collision with the express bus, which was travelling from Kota Baru to Kuala Lumpur." He said the crash occurred on a dual-carriageway with a 90kph speed limit. "The impact caused severe injuries to the car occupants, who died at the scene. Their bodies, which were trapped in the wreckage, were extricated by the Fire and Rescue Department," he said. Mazlan said the bus driver sustained minor injuries from shattered glass, while all bus passengers were unharmed. The victims' remains were sent to the Forensic Unit of Hospital Sultan Ismail Petra in Kuala Krai for post-mortem examinations. "The accident is believed to have been caused by the Myvi driver's negligence while overtaking," he said, adding that motorists should always adhere to speed limits and traffic rules. The case is being investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987. Police are urging witnesses or anyone with information to contact the Kuala Krai Traffic Police or Investigating Officer Inspector Mohamad Amirul Izham Azlan at 09-9666222.
