Year Six girl dies after being thrown onto windshield in crash with teen driver in Kuala Selangor
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 1 — A 12-year-old girl succumbed to her injuries nearly 24 hours after she was hit by a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) driven by a 17-year-old in Kampung Bukit Kuching, Kuala Selangor. According to Harian Metro, Kuala Selangor district police chief Superintendent Azaharudin Tajudin said police received a report at 3.30pm yesterday after the Year Six pupil was pronounced dead at Tanjong Karang Hospital. 'Initial investigations found the crash occurred at 6.45pm the previous day. The victim had been riding a Yamaha Ego Solaris motorcycle from Kampung Bukit Kuching to Kampung Sungai Buloh, Jeram. 'The Perodua Alza, driven by a male Form Five student, was heading from Jalan Rizab Haji Omar to Jalan Rizab Zazuli. 'Upon reaching the four-way junction, the victim is believed to have suddenly entered the intersection, leaving the driver no time to avoid the collision,' he was quoted as saying. Azaharudin added that the impact threw the girl onto the windscreen of the Alza before she landed on the road shoulder. 'She sustained severe head injuries and was rushed to Tanjong Karang Hospital, but was later confirmed dead. 'The case is being investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987,' he said. He also confirmed that the Perodua Alza belonged to the teen's mother. 'The matter of whether the MPV was driven without the family's knowledge is still under investigation,' he added.

Drunken driver left unresponsive girlfriend on roadside after she jumped from vehicle, charges say
Authorities say a drunken driver left his girlfriend to die on a central Minnesota road after she jumped from his vehicle while they were arguing. The 35-year-old Becker, Minnesota, man is charged with failing to stop at the scene of a traffic collision, which is a felony, and a misdemeanor DWI count. A criminal complaint alleges the man called his mother and another woman Thursday evening, telling them both that his girlfriend had jumped out of his truck. He also told the woman he checked on his girlfriend and she was unresponsive. Both women said "they could tell [the man] was intoxicated," the complaint states. Investigators said the man never called law enforcement to report his girlfriend's injuries. The man told the woman he was in a park in Becker, Minnesota, and police from that city began searching for him. They found him in a truck, talking on a cellphone. According to the complaint, he smelled strongly of alcohol and there was blood on his hand and the door of the vehicle. With help from the man, a Minnesota State Patrol helicopter and others, authorities found the girlfriend in the grass near the 5800 block of 140th Avenue Southeast. She "appeared to have severe head trauma," the complaint states, and died at the scene. In an interview with police, the man said he and his girlfriend had dinner and drinks at a bar, then left and drove around. An argument started and she jumped out of the vehicle, according to the complaint. He allegedly told police he stopped to check on her, found her unresponsive and left when approaching headlights startled him. Authorities took a blood sample to determine the man's blood alcohol content, but the results are not yet known. He is in custody and made his first court appearance Monday. The Sherburne County Sheriff's Office said the man may face additional charges as the investigation continues.
