KUANTAN: A housewife and her two children were killed when the car they were travelling in collided with a trailer lorry at KM17 Jalan Lipis-Benta in Penjom, near Kuala Lipis, early Friday (Dec 15).
Kuala Lipis OCPD Supt Azli Mohd Noor said that in the 2.25am incident, the victims died at the scene due to serious head and body injuries.
They were identified as Nor Faizah Ridzuan, 34, of Kok Lanas, Kelantan; and her two sons, 10-year-old Muhammad Hariz Adrian Mohd Azman and three-year-old Muhammad Hafiy Azman.
"The incident is believed to have occurred after Nor Faizah lost control of the car when navigating a bend, causing it to enter the opposite lane and collide with the trailer.
"The collision caused the car to be dragged by the trailer and hit a metal road barrier,” he said in a statement.
Supt Azli said the victims were believed to be on their way to Kelantan from Kuala Lumpur, and added that the 48-year-old trailer driver was not injured.
The bodies of the three victims were taken to the Kuala Lipis Hospital for a post-mortem and the incident is being investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987. – Bernama
