Kuala Terengganu district police chief ACP Azli Mohd Noor said police received a call from a member of the public at 2.15am reporting an accident involving a Proton Waja and a pedestrian.
“Initial investigations found that the accident occurred when the driver, travelling from Gong Badak in Kuala Nerus towards Kampung Gong Sentul in Kuala Berang, hit a pedestrian who was lying in the middle of the road.
